For the build logs, see:
https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/@python/python3.10/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/01776378-swid-tools/

For all our attempts to build swid-tools with Python 3.10, see:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.10/package/swid-tools/

Testing and mass rebuild of packages is happening in copr. You can follow these instructions to test locally in mock if your package builds with Python 3.10:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.10/

Let us know here if you have any questions.

Python 3.10 will be included in Fedora 35. To make that update smoother, we're building Fedora packages with early pre-releases of Python 3.10.
A build failure prevents us from testing all dependent packages (transitive [Build]Requires), so if this package is required a lot, it's important for us to get it fixed soon.
We'd appreciate help from the people who know this package best, but if you don't want to work on this now, let us know so we can try to work around it on our side.

Comment 1 Miro Hrončok 2020-11-23 19:56:39 UTC
It also fails in rawhide: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=56145060

Comment 2 Jan Pazdziora 2020-11-24 11:43:50 UTC
The problem seems to be caused by fakechroot used in the tests but debugging fakechroot is hard on rawhide because it FTBFS as well: bug 1901049.

Comment 3 Jan Pazdziora 2021-01-30 13:06:18 UTC
I've disabled the dnf plugin tests that require fakechroot in swid-tools-0.8.11-3.fc34, on its way to rawhide via https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2021-bbec160f46.

Comment 4 Jan Pazdziora 2021-02-01 16:26:14 UTC
The build is now in Fedora rawhide.
