= Proposed System Wide Change: python-dateutil 2.x = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/python-dateutil_2.x Change owner(s): Pete Travis <immanetize AT fedoraproject.org>, Stephen Gallagher <sgallagh@xxxxxxxxxx> The package providing `dateutil` python libraries is currently on version 1.5. Early releases in the 2.x series of python-dateutil would work only for python3, so the package was not updated in Fedora. Now, python-dateutil is at version 2.4 and does work with python2. Fedora packages can be updated to use the newer version. == Detailed Description == Many newer python packages require the newer version of python-dateutil, but some still need python-dateutil 1.5 to function properly. Maintainers will assess affected packages, and can use the parallel installable python- dateutil15 package, which already exists in the distribution, if they cannot migrate. == Scope == * Proposal owners: Coordinate update efforts and assist maintainers in assessing, testing, and updating their packages. * Other developers: Maintainers of packages that depend on python-dateutils should test with version 2.4, or the current release at freeze. If their package is not compatible with this version, they should change the packages Requires: to use python-dateutil15 and ensure that it works with the parallel-installable egg that it provides. * Release engineering: As each package should be assessed individually, a mass rebuild is not appropriate and release engineering has no requirements for this change. * Policies and guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python_Eggs#Multiple_Versions is relevant. _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list devel-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel-announce -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
