hg-git-0.8.11-5.fc31.noarch fails to install in Fedora rawhide: package hg-git-0.8.11-5.fc31.noarch requires python2-dulwich >= 0.19, but none of the providers can be installed package hg-git-0.8.11-5.fc31.noarch requires python2.7dist(dulwich) >= 0.19, but none of the providers can be installed package python2-dulwich-0.19.12-3.fc32.x86_64 requires python2.7dist(urllib3) >= 1.24.1, but none of the providers can be installed nothing provides python2-ipaddress needed by python2-urllib3-1.25.6-1.fc32.noarch This is most caused by a dependency that was retired. Please drop the dependency, unretire the dependency, remove the package or convert to Python 3. Thanks
The most probably, we will have to unretire the package as it looks we are not able to port hg-git to python3 soon.
If we do, we will also need a FESCo exception to keep it going. Also, please do it sooner than later, before python2-dulwich maintainers remove it.
JFYI python-backports-ssl_match_hostname is now also retired. (As a maintainer of python-certifi, I don't really want to keep python2-certifi around much longer just for python2-dulwich which fails to install, but so far it gave me no trouble.)
In preparation for the Python 2 EOL, we are removing all non-installable Python 2 packages: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/F31_Mass_Python_2_Package_Removal#Removing_non-installable_packages_from_the_distro This bug is still in the NEW state and the package does not install. Please indicate you are working on a fix by setting the state to ASSIGNED. When this bug is four weeks in the NEW state, the package may be orphaned. Note that you don't have to actually fix this right now, setting the bug to ASSIGNED will just mark this as being worked on, so I'll know it is being taken care of. If this happens too quickly, feel free to reach to me any time for help (with specific problems). Thank You!
python2-dulwich was removed as well.
Looking at the state of upstream (broken against mercurial 4.9+, especially 5.1+; regarding opened ) I prefer to retire the package now and it can be brought back once problems are resolved (if at all).
I agree, please do.
Done.
