Python 3 packages to be removed form EPEL 7 (provided by RHEL 7)

2019-07-16 Thread Miro Hrončok

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.
