Hi, An epel 6 build would be great. https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python3-gssapi/diff/epel7..el6 Looks to have a patch but never released. I just tested the trivial patch diff --git a/python3-gssapi.spec b/python3-gssapi.spec index 8b455bf..7f5f4cf 100644 --- a/python3-gssapi.spec +++ b/python3-gssapi.spec @@ -63,8 +63,7 @@ Requires: %{python3}-decorator %files -n %{python3}-gssapi -%doc README.txt -%license LICENSE.txt +%doc README.txt LICENSE.txt %{python3_sitearch}/gssapi %{python3_sitearch}/gssapi-%{version}-py%{python3_version}.egg-info and indeed that is enough to both build and install the package.
Not sure why that worked for you, but it didn't for me. I had to make a few other modifications. I wish I knew what 2017-me was doing, why it was built on koji but not released, etc.
FEDORA-EPEL-2019-76e916a027 has been submitted as an update to Fedora EPEL 6. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2019-76e916a027
python3-gssapi-1.3.0-3.el6 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 6 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

Thanks a lot. I'll look at if we can get a python3-requests-gssapi and then we have a common stack on 6 , 7 and 8.
I see you maintain python-requests-gssapi also , great. Only dep missing is python2-gssapi on 6 but that is probably hard on such an old python.
Correct - it's not really doable. The most immediate problem ends up being Cython: in el7 we already have to work around some large bugs in its typesystem, but with el6 it doesn't generate code properly. But because the python3 stack is shipped through epel6, we can have more modern python3-Cython there (and therefore python3-gssapi). However, since EPEL policy is to not ship packages which are already shipped in RHEL, we can't have no "modern" python2-Cython, and so no python2-gssapi. (Also, obligatory reminder that python2 is not the future https://pythonclock.org/ )
python3-gssapi-1.3.0-3.el6 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 6 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
