Description:
Backport of CPython tarfile module.

This a dependency needed by `importlib-resources` -> `jaraco.context` -> `backports.tarfile` for updating `importlib-resources` to EPEL9, fixing an issue with `MultiplexedPath`. I am asking upstream [1] what are the plans for this package if it's meant to be kept in sync with python implementaiton, or if it's a specific backport needed. If the former, this might be needed to be packaged for `rawhide` as well, otherwise this should be an EPEL9-only package

Comment 2 Ondrej Mosnáček 2024-09-20 10:15:05 UTC
Review notes:
[!]: %check is present and all tests pass.
    -> it is actually possible to make the test work by patching it as follows:
       sed -i "s/\\('-m', 'backports.tarfile',\\)/\\1 __cleanenv=False,/g" tests/test_tarfile.py

The rest looks good to me. Will paste the full review checklist once the above is addressed.

Comment 3 Cristian Le 2024-09-20 11:09:21 UTC
Thanks for picking this up Ondrej. The issue I had was more that there is a circular dependency: `backports.tarfile` -> `jaraco.test` -> `jaraco.context` -> `backports.tarfile`

Here is where `jaraco.test` is used: https://github.com/jaraco/backports.tarfile/blob/v1.2.0/tests/compat/py39.py#L9. Do you have some ideas on how to overcome it?

Comment 4 Ondrej Mosnáček 2024-09-20 11:57:23 UTC
Ah, you mean on EPEL9... I only tried it on Rawhide. I don't think it's worth trying to work around the dependency chain there, so I guess turning the tests off [by default] only on EPEL9 for now would be best. Then they could be enabled later when/if all the deps are bootstrapped in EPEL9. If the package ends up being EPEL9-only, then the conditionals can probably be simplified away, but that's not clear yet.

Anyway, it would be nice to run %pyproject_check_import in the !%{with check} case so that at least trivial errors are caught (this is recommended in https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Python/#_running_tests).

Oh yeah I forgot to include the `%pyproject_check_import`, sorry about that. I've updated the specfile for it

Please make sure the package builds successfully at least for Fedora Rawhide.

- If the build failed for unrelated reasons (e.g. temporary network
  unavailability), please ignore it.
- If the build failed because of missing BuildRequires, please make sure they
  are listed in the "Depends On" field

Had a typo when changing `check` -> `test`. Also made the tests pass for rawhide according to your suggestion, thanks for that solution.

Comment 11 Ondrej Mosnáček 2024-09-20 13:33:05 UTC
Package Review
==============

Two more minor things, but those can be resolved during import:
- the "BuildRequires:  python3-test" is either unnecessary or covered by %generate_buildrequires and can be dropped
- the sed command could use a comment (e.g. "# Preserve environment when calling Python from tests so that the tests can pass during RPM build")

Package approved.

> - the "BuildRequires:  python3-test" is either unnecessary or covered by %generate_buildrequires and can be dropped

This part is about supporting `test.support` which is part of python stdlib, so it cannot be picked up by generate_buildrequires since it doesn't have a `python3dist()`. Ah, but indeed it is covered by `jaraco.test`, I was previously trying out to test without `jaraco.test`, must have been a remnant from then. I'll remove it at import.

> - the sed command could use a comment (e.g. "# Preserve environment when calling Python from tests so that the tests can pass during RPM build")

Fair point, I'll add comments during the import
```
# tests are calling `python3 -m ...` which would need to propagate PYTHONPATH pointing to the installed package 
```

Thanks for the review.

Comment 14 Fedora Admin user for bugzilla script actions 2024-09-20 14:03:07 UTC
The Pagure repository was created at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-backports-tarfile

Comment 16 Cristian Le 2024-09-20 15:32:12 UTC
For the record, upstream replied on their plans for this package [1]. Basically unless some new package will request a feature to be backported from 3.13+, that package will remain dormant as-is.

I would like to retire the package from rawhide and keep it dormant until there is a new release in upstream indicating that there are new packages that need this backport.
