https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/DeprecatePytoml == Summary == The {{package|python-pytoml}} ({{package|python3-pytoml}}) package will be [https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/deprecating-packages/ deprecated] in [[Releases/33|Fedora 33]]. Pytoml is deprecated upstream in favor of [https://pypi.org/project/toml/ toml] ({{package|python-toml}}), but existing Fedora packages depend on it, so we cannot remove it yet. Packagers are encouraged to work with upstream to switch to {{package|python-toml}}, but {{package|python-pytoml}} remains available until it is a leaf package, it will be removed then (possibly not yet in Fedora 33). == Owner == * Name: [[User:Churchyard|Miro Hrončok]] * Email: mhroncok@xxxxxxxxxx == Detailed Description == The {{package|python-pytoml}} package is [https://pypi.org/project/pytoml/ deprecated upstream]: > The pytoml project is no longer being actively maintained. Consider using the [https://pypi.org/project/toml/ toml] package instead. We'd like to drop it from Fedora, but several packages still require it. Before we attempt to remove the package, we need to stop new packages to (Build)Require {{package|python3-pytoml}}, hence we want to have it [https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/deprecating-packages/ deprecated]. Packagers are encouraged to switch to {{package|python3-toml}} with upstream involvement. Downstream patches to switch from pytoml to toml are not encouraged. Note that <code>repoquery</code> gives many packages that BuildRequire {{package|python3-toml}}: $ repoquery --repo=rawhide{,-source} --whatrequires python3-pytoml ilua-0:0.2.1-1.fc33.src pyproject-rpm-macros-0:0-15.fc33.noarch pyproject-rpm-macros-0:0-15.fc33.src python-black-0:19.10~b0-3.fc33.src python-chaospy-0:3.2.12-1.fc33.src python-copr-0:1.102-1.fc33.src python-decopatch-0:1.4.6-3.fc33.src python-elementpath-0:1.4.0-4.fc33.src python-flit-0:2.3.0-3.fc33.src python-latexcodec-0:2.0.1-1.fc33.src python-makefun-0:1.6.11-3.fc33.src python-numpoly-0:0.2.3-2.fc33.src python-openqa_client-0:4.1.0-2.fc33.src python-pint-0:0.13-1.fc33~bootstrap.src python-pybtex-docutils-0:0.2.2-4.fc33.src python-pytest-cases-0:1.11.1-3.fc33.src python-pytest-harvest-0:1.7.2-3.fc33.src python-pytest-steps-0:1.7.2-2.fc33.src python-readthedocs-sphinx-ext-0:2.0.0-1.fc33.src python-requests-download-0:0.1.2-3.fc33.src python-sphinx-copybutton-0:0.2.12-1.fc33.src python-sphinxcontrib-bibtex-0:1.0.0-4.fc33.src python-wikitcms-0:2.6.3-2.fc33.src python-xmlschema-0:1.0.18-3.fc33.src python-xmlsec-0:1.3.8-1.fc33.src python3-flit-0:2.3.0-3.fc33.noarch python3-flit-core-0:2.3.0-3.fc33.noarch But many of them are only there because the dependency was generated by {{package|pyproject-rpm-macros}} BuildRequires generator which was since already updated to use {{package|python3-toml}}. When rebuilt with updated {{package|pyproject-rpm-macros}}, the dependency will be replaced with {{package|python3-toml}}. $ repoquery --repo=rawhide{,-source} --whatrequires pyproject-rpm-macros ansible-lint-0:4.2.0-4.fc33.src ilua-0:0.2.1-1.fc33.src python-PyGithub-0:1.51-2.fc33.src python-black-0:19.10~b0-3.fc33.src python-chaospy-0:3.2.12-1.fc33.src python-copr-0:1.102-1.fc33.src python-decopatch-0:1.4.6-3.fc33.src python-elementpath-0:1.4.0-4.fc33.src python-latexcodec-0:2.0.1-1.fc33.src python-makefun-0:1.6.11-3.fc33.src python-numpoly-0:0.2.3-2.fc33.src python-openqa_client-0:4.1.0-2.fc33.src python-pep517-0:0.7.0-4.fc33.src python-pint-0:0.13-1.fc33~bootstrap.src python-pybtex-docutils-0:0.2.2-4.fc33.src python-pytest-cases-0:1.11.1-3.fc33.src python-pytest-harvest-0:1.7.2-3.fc33.src python-pytest-steps-0:1.7.2-2.fc33.src python-readthedocs-sphinx-ext-0:2.0.0-1.fc33.src python-requests-download-0:0.1.2-3.fc33.src python-sphinx-copybutton-0:0.2.12-1.fc33.src python-sphinxcontrib-bibtex-0:1.0.0-4.fc33.src python-tox-current-env-0:0.0.2-5.fc33.src python-wikitcms-0:2.6.3-2.fc33.src python-xmlschema-0:1.0.18-3.fc33.src python-xmlsec-0:1.3.8-1.fc33.src The only really affected package is {{package|python-flit}}. Upstream already discusses the transition: https://github.com/takluyver/flit/issues/255 Once all dependencies are removed, we plan to retire {{package|python-pytoml}}, whether it will be in Fedora 33 or later. == Feedback == The intent was announced at https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/python-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/MOAHRKMZRFNR34WHPICHCP6MR3IWY4FW/ but there was no feedback. The primary point of contact for the {{package|python-pytoml}} and {{package|python-toml}} packages is on board. == Benefit to Fedora == An upstream deprecated package will not be depended upon by new packages. == Scope == * Proposal owners: Deprecate {{package|python3-pytoml}}. Work with flit upstream to make the transition as well. Once the dependency is removed from flit, rebuild remaining packages using {{package|pyproject-rpm-macros}} and retire {{package|python-pytoml}} (possibly later than Fedora 33). * Other developers: No action needed. Don't add new dependencies on {{package|python3-pytoml}}. * Release engineering: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Policies and guidelines: N/A * Trademark approval: N/A == Upgrade/compatibility impact == The package will remain available. Only new packages cannot depend on it. Once retired, we don't plan to provide <code>python3-pytoml</code> from {{package|python3-toml}}, because it cannot work as drop-in replacement (the Python module has a different name). The package will eventually be obsoleted by {{package|fedora-obsolete-packages}} once Python is updated to 3.10 to avoid broken upgrades. == How To Test == $ repoquery --repo=rawhide --provides python3-pytoml ... deprecated() ... == User Experience == No changes. == Dependencies == N/A (not a System Wide Change) == Documentation == N/A (not a System Wide Change) -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Senior Program Manager, Fedora & CentOS Stream Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
