From https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/dbus/dbus-python/blob/master/NEWS: "The deprecated dbus-glib library is no longer required. A bundled copy of its main loop integration code is included instead." We are using dbus-python in some of our packages (mostly test suite for UDisks and some helper scripts etc.). From the git repo it looks like the project is actively maintained and latest release is less than month old so I think there is no reason to retire dbus-python. If nobody wants to maintain this package I can do that. It's definitely easier than rewriting our code to something else. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org 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@lists.fedoraproject.org
