Python 3.6 in EPEL

[Aurelien Bompard <aurelien@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey folks!

I have a need for Python 3.5+ in EPEL (newest versions of Mailman 3 need it), so I tried rebuilding it by taking advantage of our %python3_other_* macros. There's a lot of packages that need to be built in the right order to get to a full Python 3.6 build, and even much more packages that need changes to use those macros.

I finally got to complete the build and its dependencies, and I uploaded the packages here:

  https://abompard.fedorapeople.org/python36-epel/

In that directory there's also a "build-order.txt" file that lists which packages should be rebuild, in which order, and with which options.

I'm totally willing to push the spec changes I've made to the maintainers of course, if you think it's the right way to go.

The main python36 packages carries an additional file to define the proper %python3_other* macros, but it should actually be an update of the main python-srpm-macros package.

What do you think? Where should I go from here? Should I make pull requests for the individual spec changes now?

Thanks!

Aurélien
