this package upstream was merged back into the google-re2 version which is now in pypy upstream as python-google-re2. We should package up this new version and dead.package this one. Reproducible: Always
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 40 development cycle. Changing version to 40.
Fabein, I think that the suggestion in this bug is probably the best way to deal with bug 2304742 and bug 2304728. I’ve taken over maintainership of the re2 package in Fedora after it was orphaned, and I’m hoping to prepare a PR that demonstrates building the “official” Python bindings (also maintained in https://github.com/google/re2, and corresponding to https://pypi.org/project/google-re2/) within the next day or two. Since that would conflict (in filenames and importable module name) with python-fb-re2, this package would need to be retired in F41 and F42 at the same time. Do you agree with this plan?
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/re2/pull-request/8 demonstrates how the replacement "re2" implementation python3-google-re2 would be built.

Polite ping…
Hi Ben, sorry for the delay replying to this request. Yes I understand the situation and I'm proposing the dead.package in that pull request [1]. Please approve then I'll merge the change. Thanks for taking over the Python re2 binding. [1] https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-fb-re2/pull-request/2
The PR was merged. Anything remains to be done here?
Nope, I think this is all taken care of. I am changing the Version to 41 (since that’s the first release where python-fb-re2 is retired) and closing this bug.
