https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1392457 Bug ID: 1392457 Summary: Re-review Request for renaming python package to python2 Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Component: Package Review Severity: medium Priority: medium Assignee: nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: cstratak@xxxxxxxxxx QA Contact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Spec URL: https://github.com/fedora-python/python2-spec/blob/py2rename/python.spec Diff from master branch: https://github.com/fedora-python/python2-spec/compare/py2rename SRPM URL: https://cstratak.fedorapeople.org/python2-2.7.12-9.fc26.src.rpm Fedora Account System Username: cstratak With Python 2 reaching end of life at 2020 and also having by default in Fedora the Python 3 version of the language it only makes sense to explicitly reflect in the name of the package, the respective major version. Also in the future, there is a high possibility that python will refer only to python3. Thus I would like to rename python to python2. The package still virtually provide the python name. All the changes in the SPEC file are in the posted github link. The change is intended only for rawhide. This can be tested by using a rawhide machine and enabling my copr repo [0] where I have a build with the renamed python: dnf copr enable cstratak/Python2 Then by invoking "dnf update" or "dnf update python" the python2 package will be installed, replacing the python package with no conflicts.
