Updating tox to 4 in EPEL 9

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello folks.

A new major version of tox was released. The bump form version 3 to version 4 should be flawless to users but breaks all the plugins that have not been updated to the new API yet.

I would like to avoid the need to maintain tox 3 in EPEL9 for many years after upstream abandoned it (they have no intention to do maintenance releases for tox 3.x).

We are currently upgrading to tox 4 in Fedora Rawhide. When the dust settles I'd like to have the possibility to update it in EPEL too.

One way to do it is to package a new tox4 component in EPEL 9 (and make it conflict with tox < 4) and keep the old tox around until it breaks (the breakage might mean it no longer supports a newly added Python version being added to RHEL 9).

Is that a sensible approach for EPEL?
