Description Lumír Balhar 2019-08-06 11:45:53 UTC 
Python 2.7 will reach end-of-life in January 2020, over 9 years after it was released. This falls within the Fedora 31 lifetime.
Packages that depend on Python 2 are being switched to Python 3 or removed from Fedora: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/F31_Mass_Python_2_Package_Removal#Information_on_Remaining_Packages
Python 2 will be retired in Fedora 32: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RetirePython2

To help planning, we'd like to know the plans for icaro's future. Specifically:


- What is the reason for the Python2 dependency? (Is it software written in Python, or does it just provide Python bindings, or use Python in the build system or test runner?) 

- What are the upstream/community plans/timelines regarding Python 3?

- What is the guidance for porting to Python 3? (Assuming that there is someone who generally knows how to port to Python 3, but doesn't know anything about the particular package, what are the next steps to take?)


This bug is filed semi-automatically, and might not have all the context specific to icaro.
If you need anything from us, or something is unclear, please mention it here.

Thank you.

According to the procedure described in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/F31_Mass_Python_2_Package_Removal#Information_on_Remaining_Packages the package was now orphaned. If you think it was a mistake, you can provide the answers and claim the package back.

Let us know if you need any help or just need more time.

And it doesn't build, the source is missing :(

Comment 17 Lumír Balhar 2019-10-04 11:01:25 UTC 
I am opening this bug again because the problems I found are related to Python.

1. /usr/bin/icaro contains "python" command

The problem is here: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/icaro/blob/master/f/icaro.spec#_101
The "python" in specfile should be replaced by %{__python3} macro

2. icaro depends on vte which is orhpaned, unmaintained and depends on Python 2

The gtk2-based vte has long been superseded by gtk3-based vte 2.91, hasn't been maintained for 8+ years, and won't receive updates. Then newest vte is in vte291 package. Could you please try to switch to the newest vte291?

3. icaro does not require its dependencies

When I try to install icaro on a pure Fedora, I don't get python3-gobject which icaro directly depends on.

Let me know if you need help with anything.
Comment 18 Eduardo Echeverria 2019-10-04 11:22:46 UTC 
I'll work on the package during this weekend, I'll let you knwo Lumir
Comment 19 Lumír Balhar 2019-10-11 07:30:49 UTC 
Let me know if you need any assistance.
Comment 20 Lumír Balhar 2019-10-21 06:03:06 UTC 
Any news here?
Comment 21 Lumír Balhar 2019-10-25 09:21:19 UTC 
I can help you with points 1 and 3 but I don't know whether icaro is compatible with vte 2.91.
Comment 22 Eduardo Echeverria 2019-11-07 18:30:14 UTC 
I'm waiting for Icaro upstream response.
Comment 23 Ben Cotton 2020-02-11 15:43:59 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 32 development cycle.
Changing version to 32.
Comment 24 Omar Berroteran 2020-11-19 10:22:18 UTC 
Hello, I have made the python change last year, this is supposed to be solved or the construction of Fedroa 31 and 32 would have passed.

Where can I see the stracktrace of the error?
Comment 25 Petr Viktorin 2020-11-19 10:29:18 UTC 
This is already solved, at least in Rawhide.
Thanks for your help and sorry for the noise!
