Description Petr Viktorin (pviktori) 2020-02-27 12:29:48 UTC

Python 2 reached upstream end-of-life in January 2020. In Fedora Rawhide, it's now provided from the compat package `python27`.
Packages that only use Python 2 at build time, like ardour5, had a general exception to keep using it in Fedora 31. Now, the dependency should be removed.

It seems that Python 3 support was already merged upstream, and is planned for ardour 6.0: https://github.com/Ardour/ardour/pull/459

If it's possible that the Python 2 build dependency won't get removed
in Fedora 33, please let us know; the package will need a FESCo exception.

If you need anything from us, or something is unclear, please mention it here.

Comment 1 Guido Aulisi 2020-03-15 10:15:50 UTC

Ardour 6.0 is still work in progress. For now it's too difficult (IMHO) to migrate the build system (waf) to python3.
I think ardour5 needs a FESCo exception for now.

Comment 2 Guido Aulisi 2020-03-19 17:42:43 UTC

I've asked a FESCo exception for ardour5 [0]

Comment 3 Guido Aulisi 2020-07-23 08:44:17 UTC

The FESCo exception for ardour5 has been accepted.
Meanwhile ardour6 has been released, but it will be available in F33 as a different package, due to many updated dependencies.

Comment 4 Petr Viktorin (pviktori) 2021-01-13 17:58:59 UTC

This is not fixed; ardour5 still depends on Python 2 to build.

Comment 5 Ben Cotton 2021-02-09 15:14:23 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 34 development cycle.
Changing version to 34.

Comment 6 Guido Aulisi 2021-05-06 11:53:28 UTC

ardour5 has been obsoleted by ardour6, it should not be present in f34. It's been retired.
