Description Matthew Barnes 2008-08-25 15:55:15 UTC
As of gnome-python2-2.22.1-3.fc10, the Python bindings for libgnome and libgnomeui have moved to a new subpackage named gnome-python2-gnome.

Consequently, this package _may_ need to change its gnome-python2 requirement to gnome-python2-gnome.

The reason for this change is because libgnome and libgnomeui pull in a large number of dependencies that some of the gnome-python2 subpackages -- such as gnome-python2-gnomevfs -- don't need, but subpackages must still require their parent package.  Splitting the libgnome[ui] bindings into a subpackage allows the other subpackages to avoid pulling in lots of unnecessary libgnome[ui] dependencies.  See bug #456122 for more details.

Comment 1 Jef Spaleta 2008-08-25 18:14:02 UTC
I'll look into it. 

I am deeply amused by the naming of the new subpackage.

gnome-python2-gnome  is a great start.  Is there any chance we could further split things as to have a gnome-python2-gnome-python subpackage?

Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 02:51:15 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.

Comment 4 Bug Zapper 2009-11-18 08:18:39 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 10.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '10'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2009-12-18 06:19:56 UTC
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
