Currently, python3-flit-core is not packaged for EPEL 8. There is a very old version of python-flit in EPEL 8 from before the flit_core split that is not useful. I plan to add a python-flit-core-epel package that only provides python3-flit-core. Since there's no python-flit-core-epel right now, I'm creating a bug against distribution to track this.
I'll stick to maintaining this in Fedora and in Python 3.11+ stdlib. I've added you as collaborator for the epel branches. Please let me know if you need anything else from me! As for flit, IMO the component (SRPM) name "python-flit-core", without the "-epel" suffix, would be better -- it shouldn't cause any conflicts. FWIW, we'll probably be adding some kind of python3.11-flit-core component to RHEL9 in BZ#2127923. And a heads-up: for RHEL10, we're planning to replace all uses of tomli with tomllib from the Python 3.11+ standard library (same code, different name). IMO, EPEL10 should do the same.
Hi Petr, (In reply to Petr Viktorin from comment #1) > I'll stick to maintaining this in Fedora and in Python 3.11+ stdlib. > I've added you as collaborator for the epel branches. Please let me know if > you need anything else from me! Can you please change the branch list from "epel8,epel9" to "epel*"? I'm thinking about branching this for EPEL 7, and also fedscm-admin denied the branch request, because it doesn't understand the "epel8,epel9" format[^1]. > > As for flit, IMO the component (SRPM) name "python-flit-core", without the > "-epel" suffix, would be better -- it shouldn't cause any conflicts. Ack. > And a heads-up: for RHEL10, we're planning to replace all uses of tomli with > tomllib from the Python 3.11+ standard library (same code, different name). > IMO, EPEL10 should do the same. I'll keep that in mind if/when people start requesting python-tomli for EPEL 10. [^1]: In case you're curious: I looked at the code and found that fedscm-admin does `fnmatch.fnmatch("epel8", "epel8,epel9")` here when it should be doing something like `any(fnmatch.fnmatch("epel8", pattern) for pattern in "epel8,epel9".split(","))`.
I went to change the branch to epel[89], but it is already set to epel*.
Yes, I updated to `epel*`, you should be unblocked. I also proposed a fix for fedscm-admin: https://pagure.io/fedscm-admin/pull-request/83
Thank you for both! I have submitted https://pagure.io/releng/fedora-scm-requests/issue/48139.
