Hide Forgot
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 slv2, 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 an old bundled version of "waf"; can that be unbundled/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.
IMHO this package should be retired, it has been replaced by lilv and nothing is using it in rawhide.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 33 development cycle. Changing version to 33.
Brendan, do you have any thoughts on this?
Slv2 has been deprecated and replaced by lilv, it should be retired.
I'm happy for this to be retired if nothing is using it.
Nothing in Fedora seem to use it: $ repoquery --repo=rawhide{,-source} --whatrequires slv2 --whatrequires slv2-devel slv2-devel-0:0.6.6-32.fc34.i686 slv2-devel-0:0.6.6-32.fc34.x86_64
Brendan, could you retire it?
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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 36 development cycle. Changing version to 36.
