Sure thing. Currently whipper is written in python and at this time is incompatible with Python3. There has been a standing bug for two years now within whipper. No timeline has been posted but in my conversations with upstream they understand the impending deadline though I do not know how that will line up with the Fedora 31 branch date. https://github.com/whipper-team/whipper/issues/78 This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 31 development cycle. Changing version to '31'. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 31 development cycle. Changing version to 31. The current plan is to remove packages with dependency on Python 2 from Fedora 32 in the middle of November 2019. If you want to keep your package in Fedora after that date and you cannot port it to Python 3 yet, you need to request a FESCo exception for the package and all its Python 2 dependencies (even transitive) [1]. If you don't want to maintain it anymore, and nothing in Fedora uses it, you can retire it or just remove the Python 2 part from it (subpackage, module, bindings, etc.). If you're considering filing the exception request, let us know. We can help (for example, we can help find all the dependencies). [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RetirePython2#FESCo_exceptions Matthew, do you plan to request an exception for whipper if upstream doesn't provide a Python 3 compatible code by November? It seems to be the last package that will need python2-requests and several other related packages. Matthew? I do not plan to request an exception, to allow all packages it depends upon to also be retired. I will likely resubmit it once the migration to Python 3 is complete. Thanks. Let's retire whipper once it is the last dependency of python2-requests? Should happen in ~3 weeks. whipper-0.7.3-3.fc31.x86_64 fails to install in Fedora rawhide: package whipper-0.7.3-3.fc31.x86_64 requires python2-requests, but none of the providers can be installed package python2-requests-2.22.0-6.fc32.noarch requires (python2.7dist(urllib3) < 1.25 or python2.7dist(urllib3) >= 1.25.0), but none of the providers can be installed package python2-requests-2.22.0-6.fc32.noarch requires (python2.7dist(urllib3) < 1.25.1 or python2.7dist(urllib3) >= 1.25.1.0), but none of the providers can be installed package python2-requests-2.22.0-6.fc32.noarch requires python2-urllib3 >= 1.21.1, but none of the providers can be installed package python2-requests-2.22.0-6.fc32.noarch requires python2.7dist(urllib3) >= 1.21.1, but none of the providers can be installed package python2-requests-2.22.0-6.fc32.noarch requires python2.7dist(urllib3) < 1.26, but none of the providers can be installed nothing provides python2-ipaddress needed by python2-urllib3-1.25.3-6.fc32.noarch This is caused by python-ipaddress being retired after being orphaned for 6+ weeks. Please drop the dependency, or remove the package. Thanks In preparation for the Python 2 EOL, we are removing all non-installable Python 2 packages: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/F31_Mass_Python_2_Package_Removal#Removing_non-installable_packages_from_the_distro This bug is still in the NEW state and the package does not install. Please indicate you are working on a fix by setting the state to ASSIGNED. When this bug is four weeks in the NEW state, the package may be orphaned. Note that you don't have to actually fix this right now, setting the bug to ASSIGNED will just mark this as being worked on, so I'll know it is being taken care of. If this happens too quickly, feel free to reach to me any time for help (with specific problems). Thank You! Done. The upstream team hopes to have their final python 3 port done soon. If it's not done before the Py2 removal date I'll resubmit it once the work is completed. Upstream has largely completed work on the Python 3 port. Talk on IRC is they hope to merge these changes and tag a release very soon, so hopefully I can get that built and on Rawhide before removal. https://github.com/whipper-team/whipper/pull/411 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1777650 *** |
