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 wpewebkit, had a general exception to keep using it in Fedora 31. Now, the dependency should be removed. It looks like this might be a matter of switching "BuildRequires: python2" to "BuildRequires: /usr/bin/python" and removing Patch 0. But, I can't test it out because the package fails to build (see Bug #1800260). 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 package has changed maintainer in the Fedora. Reassigning to the new maintainer of this component.
Automation has figured out the package is retired in rawhide. If you like it to be unretired, please open a ticket at https://pagure.io/releng/new_issue?template=package_unretirement
