Description Petr Viktorin (pviktori) 2020-02-28 10:02:25 UTC
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 vboot-utils, had a general exception to keep using it in Fedora 31. Now, the dependency should be removed.

Switching to Python 3 seemed easy to me (though I don't necessarily
know much about vboot-utils). So I opened a pull request: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/vboot-utils/pull-request/2

Could you merge it?
If not, if it's possible that the Python 2 build dependency won't get
removed in Fedora 33, please let us know; the package will need
a FESCo exception.

If you need anything from us, or something is unclear, please mention it here.

I will deal with it when I have the time to deal with rebasing to upstream and the FTBFS ticket, the PR has already made me aware of the problem, yet more tickets is only going to waste my time to work on it by dealiing with pointless duplicate tickets!

Sorry. Unfortunately, there's no good way to tell if you're one of the many packagers who ignore pull requests.

And spamming with more tickets is even a worse way!
