I'm confused. How is the change relevant for mock? I think I'm missing some
pieces of the thought process here, could you please elaborate on that?
In the past, changes where old versions of python were no longer supported in
Fedora, then newer versions of mock/etc became dead in older OS's like RHEL-5's
python24 and RHEL-6's python26. This would make compiling packages for certain
versions of the OS impossible because the parent operating system didn't have a
version of python it could use and you couldn't use newer source code on the
older os.
The question is moot because you are the wrong person to ask. The person to ask
is the owner of mock and I expect the answer will be... I don't have time to
support N versions of python but you have the source code.. so do it yourself.
[Probably nicer than that.. but the general effect.]
mock in EPEL 6 is already "dead" in that matter:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1694159
mock in EPEL 7 can run on Python 3.6:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mock/pull-request/6
Which could make sense, but makes mock more awkward to install.
How is that more awkward? The installation would still be be `yum install
epel-release && yum install mock`.
