Description Lumír Balhar 2019-09-12 05:43:25 UTC
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 gimp-resynthesizer'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 gimp-resynthesizer.
If you need anything from us, or something is unclear, please mention it here.

Thank you.

Comment 3 Luya Tshimbalanga 2019-09-26 07:01:21 UTC
gimp-resynthesizer inherits dependency from Gimp itself which use python2. The first step is addressing the problem to Gimp.

Comment 4 Petr Viktorin (pviktori) 2019-09-26 07:05:47 UTC
Gimp is probably getting a FESCo exception to stay on Python 2: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1737933

I think gimp-resynthesizer should be included there.

Comment 5 Lumír Balhar 2019-10-03 09:44:19 UTC
Exception for this package approved by fesco: https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2238

Comment 6 Ben Cotton 2020-02-11 17:53:38 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 32 development cycle.
Changing version to 32.

Comment 7 Luya Tshimbalanga 2020-11-04 03:21:44 UTC
Switch to Rawhide due to Gimp as blocker.

Comment 8 Ben Cotton 2021-02-09 15:12:31 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 34 development cycle.
Changing version to 34.

Comment 9 Ben Cotton 2022-05-12 16:53:17 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 34 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 34 on 2022-06-07.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '34'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 34 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Comment 10 Ben Cotton 2022-06-08 06:25:09 UTC
Fedora Linux 34 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2022-06-07.

Fedora Linux 34 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
