Python 2 reached upstream end-of-life in January 2020. In Fedora Rawhide, it's now provided from the compat package `python27`. Packages that only use Python 2 at build time, like kdissert, had a general exception to keep using it in Fedora 31. Now, the dependency should be removed. It looks like need for python2 comes from a bundled version of "waf"; can that be updated? Let us know if you need any help investigating or removing the dependency If it's possible that the dependency won't be removed in Fedora 33. Please request a FESCo exception. You can refer to the exception for mercurial as an example: https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2243 It's good to mention: - What is the reason for the Python 2 build dependency? - What are the upstream/community plans/timelines regarding Python 2? - What is the guidance for porting the build 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?) If you need anything from us, or something is unclear, please mention it here.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 33 development cycle. Changing version to 33.
Rex, do you have answers to these questions?
This message is a reminder that Fedora 33 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 33 on 2021-11-30. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 Fedora 'version' of '33'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 33 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, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 33 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2021-11-30. Fedora 33 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
kdissert still needs python2 on Rawhide. It looks like this was renamed to Semantik and is now at: https://gitlab.com/ita1024/semantik But the Fedora package for Semantik was retired in 2014...
The needinfo request[s] on this closed bug have been removed as they have been unresolved for 500 days
What is your plan if we were to remove Python 2 from the distribution today? Should we block that on kdissert?
Dear Maintainer, your package has an open Fails To Build From Source bug for Fedora 41. Action is required from you. If you can fix your package to build, perform a build in koji, and either create an update in bodhi, or close this bug without creating an update, if updating is not appropriate [1]. If you are working on a fix, set the status to ASSIGNED to acknowledge this. If you have already fixed this issue, please close this Bugzilla report. Following the policy for such packages [2], your package will be orphaned if this bug remains in NEW state more than 8 weeks (not sooner than 2020-04-22). A week before the mass branching of Fedora 42 according to the schedule [3], any packages not successfully rebuilt at least on Fedora 40 will be retired regardless of the status of this bug.

kdissert has become Semantik, and is now developed at: https://gitlab.com/ita1024/semantik Working on packaging this. Expect it will need a re-review.
Orphaned package
