Hey,
when RHEL 7.7 will be released, the following new components/packages will be
provided (assuming from 7.7 beta):
python3 - the Python 3.6 package
================================
This new RHEL7 component builds several subpackages, all obsoleting the
subpackages of epel7 python36 package.
We will simply retire python36 from epel7.
python-rpm-macros
=================
This new RHEL7 component is a drop-in replacement of python-rpm-macros from
epel7, we will simply retire the package. python-epel-rpm-macros already provide
the necessary macros for python34 in epel7.
python3-setuptools
==================
This new RHEL7 component produces the python3-setuptools package that obsoletes
the python36-setuptools package (built from the python3-setuptools epel7 component).
We cannot simply retire python3-setuptools from epel7, as it also builds
python34-setuptools in epel7 and there is no replacement for that in RHEL7.
Easiest thing would be to stop building python36-setuptools and only keep
python34-setuptools in epel7, however IIRC we cannot have the same component
name as in RHEL. If that is indeed the case, python3-setuptools needs to be
retired and a new python34-setuptools component needs to be created in epel7. Is
my assumption correct?
python-pip
==========
This new RHEL7 component produces the python3-pip package that obsoletes the
python36-pip package (built from the python-pip epel7 component).
The python-pip epel7 component also produces python34-pip and python2-pip
(neither available in RHEL 7.7).
If my previous assumption about components with RHEL names is correct, we need 1
or 2 new components for python34-pip and python2-pip - either we have each in a
separate component or we create a new component that builds both (called
python-pip-epel maybe?).
python-wheel
============
This new RHEL7 component produces the python3-wheel package.
The python-wheel epel7 component produced python-wheel package (Python 2).
The epel7 package was adapted to produce python2-wheel and python36-wheel,
however there was no successful build of this in epel7.
If my previous assumption about components with RHEL names is correct,
we need to add a new python2-wheel component to epel7.
------------
Are my assumptions correct?
If we indeed need new packages/components, I can help to create them, but I do
not intent to maintain them. Any takers?
