Description Orion Poplawski 2015-12-09 05:09:35 UTC 
Description of problem:

fail2ban still supports gamin.  In shifting to python3 it would be nice to be able to keep gamin support.
Comment 1 David H. Gutteridge 2015-12-14 00:27:14 UTC 
Added blocker on meta-tracker bug 1285816, per current SOP.
Comment 2 Jonathan Underwood 2015-12-14 11:53:18 UTC 
Fail2ban+gamin+SELinux is broken, and probably unfixable:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=437633

https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gamin-list/2008-May/msg00000.html

As such, I'd honestly recommend ditching gamin support in fail2ban, rather than encouraging users to disable SELinux. Gamin wasn't really designed to support the use case of fail2ban, and since there are better suited backends for fail2ban, it seems and unecessary burden to support gamin (and hold back python3 adoption by fail2ban as a result).
Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2016-02-23 02:35:43 UTC 
This will need work, looks like upstream (gamin) doesn't support python3 out of the box
Comment 4 Jonathan Underwood 2016-04-19 13:52:18 UTC 
gamin seems largely dead upstream...
Comment 5 Peter Robinson 2016-04-19 13:55:12 UTC

> gamin seems largely dead upstream...

yep, I'd sooner kill it off entirely.

Comment 7 Orion Poplawski 2019-10-14 23:00:10 UTC 
python support has been dropped completely.  Amazingly, some things still require gamin:

caja-1.22.2-1.fc32.src.rpm
codeblocks-17.12-14.fc31.src.rpm
glib2-2.63.0-1.fc32.src.rpm
gnome-vfs2-2.24.4-29.fc31.src.rpm
lighttpd-1.4.54-2.fc31.src.rpm
