Python 2.7 will reach end-of-life in January 2020, over 9 years after it was released. This falls within the Fedora 31 lifetime. Packages that depend on Python 2 are being switched to Python 3 or removed from Fedora: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/F31_Mass_Python_2_Package_Removal#Information_on_Remaining_Packages Python 2 will be retired in Fedora 32: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RetirePython2 To help planning, we'd like to know the plans for cfv's future. Specifically: - What is the reason for the Python2 dependency? (Is it software written in Python, or does it just provide Python bindings, or use Python in the build system or test runner?) - What are the upstream/community plans/timelines regarding Python 3? - What is the guidance for porting to Python 3? (Assuming that there is someone who generally knows how to port to Python 3, but doesn't know anything about the particular package, what are the next steps to take?) This bug is filed semi-automatically, and might not have all the context specific to cfv. If you need anything from us, or something is unclear, please mention it here. Thank you.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 31 development cycle. Changing version to '31'.

Please answer the above questions. If you don't, the package can be orphaned: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/F31_Mass_Python_2_Package_Removal#Information_on_Remaining_Packages If you need any information or help, or if you need some more time, please let us know.
From my point of view the package can be orphaned and / or deprecated. I have no real interest in it, I do not know if anyone is using it and for reasons I have yet to identify I cannot obtain a valid Kerberos ticket to perform any operation on it myself. manuel
cfv is a leaf package so it can be retired in Fedora rawhide.
Miro, could you please orphan this package?
Why don't we retire it right away if it is a leaf?
(In reply to Miro Hrončok from comment #7) > Why don't we retire it right away if it is a leaf? Somebody might be interested in this package. And it will be retired automatically after a few weeks.
OK. There are no other packages blocked by the removal. Orphaned.
Whether we need to close this ticket? Because the topic is now cleared (in terms of making the package orphan)
(In reply to Denis Fateyev from comment #10) > Whether we need to close this ticket? Because the topic is now cleared (in > terms of making the package orphan) Please, keep this ticket open. Somebody might want to take over the package and then he/she should fix this issue. If nobody does that, the package will be retired and then we can close this ticket.
Package was retired.
