RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Orion Poplawski 2022-03-05 21:27:09 UTC
Description of problem:

Packages like python-zope-event need to install a local python3-docs for intersphinx builds to work properly.

Comment 1 Miro Hrončok 2022-03-06 00:45:56 UTC
This is a request for a new component, pythn3-docs is not a subpackage of python3.9.

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python3-docs/

Comment 2 Miro Hrončok 2022-03-06 00:51:04 UTC
Orion, I've replied to https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/python-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/L2OOB3F5MFIWNKLDVZUQW6HSC5QYTATC/

If you need python3-docs in EPEL 9, you have the ability to package it in EPEL 9, see https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/epel-package-request/#fedora_packagers

I think this request was opened under a false assumption that we already build the package in RHEL 9 but we don't ship it, which is not the case. If that's the case, I suggest we close it as NOTABUG.

If you, however, see some reasons this package needs to be in RHEL 9 proper, do tell.

Yeah, it sounded like it was part of Python, but it apparently is not.

It *was* built once, then retired eight months ago, so it hasn't been part of RHEL 9 for a while...

Comment 4 Orion Poplawski 2022-03-06 01:30:08 UTC
Well, I was willing to try starting at the top as it were.  But I'm fine with simply not bothering to try to "fix" the intersphinx error.

It was indeed part of the initial automatic import from Fedora 34, as were many other packages that were later removed.

Comment 6 Tomas Orsava 2022-03-09 14:12:25 UTC
Indeed, python3-docs is not in RHEL 9 on purpose, as we don't consider it essential enough.
There is a workaround to the intersphinx issue, and anyone is also welcome to package python3-sphinx in EPEL 9.
