cloud-init fails to build with Python 3.9.0a3. FAIL: test_seed_dir_empty2_context (tests.unittests.test_datasource.test_opennebula.TestOpenNebulaDataSource) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/builddir/build/BUILD/cloud-init-17.1/tests/unittests/test_datasource/test_opennebula.py", line 137, in test_seed_dir_empty2_context self.assertEqual(results['metadata'], {}) AssertionError: {'EPOCHSECONDS': '1580232549'} != {} - {'EPOCHSECONDS': '1580232549'} + {} For the build logs, see: https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/@python/python3.9/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/01206197-cloud-init/ For all our attempts to build cloud-init with Python 3.9, see: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.9/package/cloud-init/ Testing and mass rebuild of packages is happening in copr. You can follow these instructions to test locally in mock if your package builds with Python 3.9: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.9/ Let us know here if you have any questions. Python 3.9 will be included in Fedora 33. To make that update smoother, we're building Fedora packages with early pre-releases of Python 3.9. A build failure prevents us from testing all dependent packages (transitive [Build]Requires), so if this package is required a lot, it's important for us to get it fixed soon. We'd appreciate help from the people who know this package best, but if you don't want to work on this now, let us know so we can try to work around it on our side.
It also has an issue with ABC import from collections module fixed at https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/pull/198 .
I suspect most of this will be fixed when we rebase onto the latest version of cloud-init (planned soon). Adding Eduardo to cc, who is taking on that work.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 32 development cycle. Changing version to 32.
