Description of problem: python-mock is a BR for python-pymemcache->python-python-django->python-opentelemetry->python-xds-protos->grpc->libarrow, which in turn is a BR ceph quincy (17.2.x). While ceph itself will not (ever) be built in EPEL, there are Ceph developers who want to use CentOS Stream or RHEL with EPEL. Note: libarrow and all its dependencies, including python-mock, are already available from the CentOS Storage SIG. I'm told though that many Ceph devs prefer to use EPEL over the CentOS Storage SIG. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: It builds as is from the rawhide sources (see https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=87403079) If you don't wish to build python-mock in EPEL yourself, please add the epel-packagers-sig group as collaborator for epel* branches, or (less preferable) add me (FAS: kkeithle) as a collaborator for epel* branches. Thanks
Since python-mock has been deprecated since Fedora 34[1], it should not be branched for EPEL9. Instead, packages that still require it should be patched before branching. In this specific case: I am the package maintainer for both grpc and python-opentelemetry. I am able to build python-opentelemetry for EPEL9 in a COPR[2] by disabling certain subpackages with missing dependencies. I already have a bootstrap build of grpc, and I expect to complete a non-bootstrap build shortly. At that point, I am just waiting on a couple of repository branch requests to go through before I can start real builds in a side tag.
