Description Miro Hrončok 2019-09-20 11:29:22 UTC 
In the line with https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RetirePython2 I'd like to know whether we will:

- change waf to be Python 3 only, or
- request an exception for waf to continue to be Python 2

Note that only glmark2 BuildRequires waf and it builds fine with waf-python3. All other Fedora packages that use waf bundle their own.
Comment 1 Lumír Balhar 2019-09-27 10:03:55 UTC 
Please answer the above question. If you don't, the package can be orphaned: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/F31_Mass_Python_2_Package_Removal#Information_on_Remaining_Packages

If you need any information or help, or if you need some more time, please let us know.
Comment 2 Thomas Moschny 2019-10-04 10:00:47 UTC 
I will work on making waf Python3-only. Need to find out how to get rid of the alternatives.
Comment 3 Lumír Balhar 2019-10-04 10:25:14 UTC 
Let us know if you will need any assistance.

I think you can just replace the %ghost file with the actual executable and get rid of all the scriptlets.
Comment 5 Thomas Moschny 2019-10-09 21:31:10 UTC 
Waf has been made Python3-only in this commit https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/waf/c/ed708c7, built here: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1398330.
