[ovirt-devel] Fwd: BuildRequires on obsoleted packages provided by Python

Fyi, vdsm included in the list of packages buildrequiring orphaned packages on fedora ---------- Messaggio inoltrato ---------- Da: "Charalampos Stratakis" <cstratak(a)redhat.com&gt; Data: 31/Ago/2016 02:11 PM Oggetto: BuildRequires on obsoleted packages provided by Python A: "Development discussions related to Fedora" < devel(a)lists.fedoraproject.org&gt; Cc: "Fedora Python SIG" <python-devel(a)lists.fedoraproject.org&gt; packages that, while separate at some point, they got included in python's stdlib and then obsoleted as standalone packages (thus to cope with the change, python was obsoleting these packages and providing them as well in the SPEC). So every package that currently (Build)Requires any of these packages will essentially drag python with it. time ago, but the packages that still require them, will need to be fixed and (Build)Require python instead. https://github.com/fedora-python/python2-spec/commit/dfdd96e653d65ce68359... procedure so maintainer fix their packages. to rename python to python2 soon, which will lead to a re-review of python, so at the moment trying to have things as clear and consistent as possible. Plans for that change is only for rawhide (although it would be nice for f25 as well).
