Patch to fix dragging in Python 3 in python-junitxml (deleted)

Description Iryna Shcherbina 2017-02-16 15:07:16 UTC
The python-junitxml-0.7-9 RPM requires both Python 2 and Python 3.

Except in very special circumstances, there is no need for one package
to drag in both Python stacks. Usually, this is a packaging error: in this case the Python 3 executable overrides the Python 2 one during installation. Also, python3-junitxml is missing the executable altogether.

Please remove the stray dependency, and add an executable to the Python 3 subpackage. There is a section on `Moving the Executables and Making Symlinks` in the Python RPM Porting Guide [0] which covers this issue, and an example of a ported spec file [1].

It's ok to do this in Rawhide only, however, it would be greatly
appreciated if you could push it to Fedora 25 as well.


If anything is unclear, or if you need any kind of assistance, you can
ask on IRC (#fedora-python on Freenode), or reply here. We'll be happy
to help investigating or fixing this issue!
