Hey,
when RHEL 7.7 will be released, the following new components/packages
will be provided (assuming from 7.7 beta):
python3 - the Python 3.6 package
================================
This new RHEL7 component builds several subpackages, all obsoleting
the subpackages of epel7 python36 package.
We will simply retire python36 from epel7.
python-rpm-macros
=================
This new RHEL7 component is a drop-in replacement of python-rpm-macros
from epel7, we will simply retire the package. python-epel-rpm-macros
already provide the necessary macros for python34 in epel7.
python3-setuptools
==================
This new RHEL7 component produces the python3-setuptools package that
obsoletes the python36-setuptools package (built from the
python3-setuptools epel7 component).
We cannot simply retire python3-setuptools from epel7, as it also
builds python34-setuptools in epel7 and there is no replacement for
that in RHEL7.
Easiest thing would be to stop building python36-setuptools and only
keep python34-setuptools in epel7, however IIRC we cannot have the
same component name as in RHEL. If that is indeed the case,
python3-setuptools needs to be retired and a new python34-setuptools
component needs to be created in epel7. Is my assumption correct?
python-pip
==========
This new RHEL7 component produces the python3-pip package that
obsoletes the python36-pip package (built from the python-pip epel7
component).
The python-pip epel7 component also produces python34-pip and
python2-pip (neither available in RHEL 7.7).
If my previous assumption about components with RHEL names is correct,
we need 1 or 2 new components for python34-pip and python2-pip -
either we have each in a separate component or we create a new
component that builds both (called python-pip-epel maybe?).
python-wheel
============
This new RHEL7 component produces the python3-wheel package.
The python-wheel epel7 component produced python-wheel package (Python
2).
The epel7 package was adapted to produce python2-wheel and
python36-wheel, however there was no successful build of this in epel7.
If my previous assumption about components with RHEL names is correct,
we need to add a new python2-wheel component to epel7.
------------
Are my assumptions correct?
If we indeed need new packages/components, I can help to create them,
but I do not intent to maintain them. Any takers?
If none else raise their hand, I can help maintain these packages.
