Description Charalampos Stratakis 2018-04-05 16:56:43 UTC 
Currently dpdk depends on python2 while the package is python3 compatible. Could it be changed to require python3 instead?

Currently the dpdk-examples and dpdk-tools subpackages drag usr/bin/python2 due to shebangs within python scripts pointing to python2 (those will need to be changed during %prep), the devel subpackage requires python2 and the tools subpackage requires python2-pyelftools as runtime dependencies.

Additionally there is a build time dependency on python2-sphinx (I replaced it with python3 and things built fine).
Comment 1 Neil Horman 2018-04-05 18:12:38 UTC 
just tested dpdk-pmdinfo (the utility that runs with python2-pyelftools) and it works fine with the python3 library variants.
Comment 2 Charalampos Stratakis 2018-04-06 18:38:30 UTC 
Thanks for the change!

It seems though that the sed [0] is not actually working and the shebangs keep pointing at python2. Also would it be possible to push those changes to F28 as well?

Comment 3 Neil Horman 2018-04-09 11:20:50 UTC 
So, ideally, that shouldn't matter, as when the cutover happens to python3, /usr/bin/env python will start pointing there, but yes, we should fix the conversion now
Comment 4 Neil Horman 2018-04-09 14:07:08 UTC 
Um, actually, I just built this locally, and it appears that all the python scripts that I see are appropriately converted, where are you seeing that that is not the case?
Comment 6 Neil Horman 2018-04-09 14:43:15 UTC 
yeah, I can sync the changes, but note that the last update reved the epoch on dpdk to bring it into sync with requirements for OVS (which means a version downgrade).  I don't expect it will be a huge problem, but please keep it in mind

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 29 development cycle.
Changing version to '29'.

This ids py3-only, at least on Rawhide.
