I'd like to drop the python2-rpm subpackage in Fedora 31.
There are a handful of dependencies left for it still but these all
appear more or less dead upstream (and some even downstream), and will
go down with the great python2 flush soon anyway. Kobo is the
exception but that has a python3 counterpart already. Here's what
repoquery --whatrequires python2-rpm on rawhide gives today:
ailurus-0:10.10.3-19.fc31.noarch
dmlite-shell-0:1.13.1-2.fc31.x86_64
firmware-tools-0:2.1.15-5.fc29.noarch
FTBFS, should have been retired yesterday.
mach-0:1.0.4-10.fc31.i686
mach-0:1.0.4-10.fc31.x86_64
python2-kobo-rpmlib-0:0.10.0-2.fc31.noarch
Drop announced, doesn't install. Will be dropped ~ 2019-08-15.
repo_manager-0:0.1.0-15.fc31.noarch
system-config-users-0:1.3.8-6.fc29.noarch
FTBFS, should have been retired yesterday.
vdsm-0:4.18.999-447.git0bb7717.fc28.x86_64
FTBFS, should have been retired yesterday.
Heh, remarkably unlucky timing then on my behalf.
I'd rather not maintain the python2 bindings for another release just
because a handful of apparently dead software depends on it.
Thoughts?
CC the maintainers, wait for them to not reply and do it:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/F31_Mass_Python_2_Package_Removal#Process_for_abandoning_Python_2_subpackages
Yup, read that.
Since the current dependencies are to go away on their own within a week
or two, I can wait that much for the road to clear itself up.
The thing is that an external maintainer for the python2 part doesn't
make sense for rpm. Either the rpm-team maintains it 'till the mass
remove or we drop it now, anything else is just unwanted overhead. Hence
the request for thoughts rather than invite for others to maintain.
