Description Troy Dawson 2018-11-07 22:11:05 UTC
Current python-django for EPEL7 (python-django-1.6.11.6-1.el7) requires
  python-django-bash-completion = 1.6.11.6-1.el7
EPEL7 contains
  python-django-bash-completion = 1.6.11.7-1.el7

Please fix this package so that it can be installed in RHEL 7.6.
If you have not responded in a week, we will have a proven packager fix it.
If you know you will not be able to get to it and would like it fixed sooner, please let us know in this bug.
If you feel this package should no longer be in EPEL7, please let us know in this bug.

Comment 1 Troy Dawson 2018-11-07 22:13:10 UTC
There is a new package python-django16 that contains the packages
  python2-django
  python-django-bash-completion

As you can see, the subpackage python-django-bash-completion
 conflicts between the two packages.

I am not the package maintainer, but if it were me, I'd either remove the python-django package, or update the new python-django16 so that the bash-completion is python2-django-bash-completion

Comment 2 Miro Hrončok 2018-11-07 23:01:49 UTC
Why has python-django16 been added to EPEL7 when python-django is 1.6 @EPEL7 as well?

The python-django maintainer (Matthias Runge) asked me to split off 1.6 into its own package because he had planned to upgrade EPEL 7 to be a more modern Django installation. I still need this ancient version because it's used by Review Board. Apparently Matthias never followed through on the upgrade. Someone should take over the ownership of python-django and upgrade it or retire it.

My python-django16 package does have a bug in it though (it should be building python-django16-bash-completion). I just pushed a fix and it's building now.

Ugh, I'm sorry about this. 

For me, it turned out, that EPEL has some severe issues itself, and I currently don't have an interest in maintaining anything in EPEL. iirc, we should have an antique version of Django in EPEL. Upgrading to a more modern (and still supported) version would be the upgrade to 1.11.

I've filed https://pagure.io/epel/issue/48

Thanks for clarification.

And thanks for the fix!

The fixed package has reached it's testing time.
Does anyone mind if I push it to stable?

Comment 10 Matthias Runge 2018-12-18 16:38:09 UTC
Thanks for the heads-up. I just pushed both python-django packages to batched. Since this is an upgrade, we wanted some feedback, which did not really happen.

Comment 12 lonordtea 2018-12-30 19:55:13 UTC
graphite-web-0.9.16-2.el7 is currently broken as it requires `python-django >= 1.3` and the new package has meant it’s leapt from 1.6 -> 1.11 which is incompatible. 

The spec file requires needs toT be updated to require "python2-django16 >= 1.3"

That bug needs to be filed against graphite-web.
