Based on the entire discussion so far, here's my proposal:
- we change this to a system wide change
- we move it to Fedora 31
- we retire the packages from rawhide as soon as f30 is branched regardless of
the dependent packages
- packages with broken deps / FTBFS due to this will be retired if not fixed
by beta freeze
Contingency mechanism:
- if some process (releng or similar) needs the packages in order to ship
Fedora 31, the packages are added into a designated copr repo maintained by the
person/team responsible for the tool that needs yum (or other packages retired)
- if the above is not possible and the packages are indeed needed in the
actual f31 repos, packages are unretired but the person/team responsible for the
tool that needs yum maintains them as long as they need them and retires them
once that is no longer true
+1
As an alternative solution, based on a discussion with Neal Gompa
today on IRC, I propose the following:
- we remove python-urlgrabber from the original change proposal
(i.e. keeping it in F30)
- we proceed with the retirement of the rest of the YUM stack in F30
- we make sure the kojid PR[1] is merged in time for F30
This is based on the following two facts:
- python-urlgrabber seems to be the last component of the YUM stack
that turns this proposal into a "system-wide" change, due to a number
of infra bits that require it (sigul, koji-containerbuild, osc or
imagefactory). Therefore, if we just postpone the removal of
python-urlgrabber to F31 and merge that kojid PR, we could perhaps
agree on re-qualifying the change as "self-contained" (plus, there's
also the possibility of porting[2] python-urlgrabber to Python 3, but
that's for a separate discussion)
- the kojid PR[1] is also in-line with another F30 change[3], so
there should be enough incentive to have it merged
Before I go ahead and edit the proposal: Does this variant make sense to you?
It does to me. But well, I've been called a Python 2 deletionist before, so not
sure if I'm not biased :)
