Hi, this is about:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Mass_Python_2_Package_Removal
We have ~300 bugz open and blocking
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=PY2REMOVAL
Some of them are > 1 week old and hence anyone can go and remove the
mentioned (sub)packages. I've retired the packages that were for
retirement and I will retire more once they are unblocked (needs to go
to compose -> portingdb before the automation recognizes it).
I open more bugs as they are closed (I don't wan to deal with 1000 bugs
at once).
Retirement is easy. The problematic part is removing subpackages. I go
and manually choose the packages that appear not to be just simple "py
spec generates py2 and py3 subpackages" combo, but a bit more
complicated, and I leave the "simple" ones alone for now.
I'm theoretically able to remove a simple py2 subpackage in about a
minute, yet it is tedious and after ~20 packages I need to stop (before
I go crazy).
We have something in between 900 and 2000 packages to remove (there are
900 leaves to remove and we may make another 1100 into leaves as we go).
Is anyone willing to look into automating this? Write a spec depython2izer?
This usually means:
- removing python2- and python- BRs
- removing %package -n python2 and it's metadata, description & %files
- removing all %py2_build, %py2_install or their older manual variants
- removing python2 tests from %check
- (sometimes) removing %py3dir or python3 dir pushd/popd dance
- (sometimes) removing with_python3 conditionals as they make no sense
IIRC Zbyszek said at Flock that he might work on that. Is that still
true? If not, shall I draft something?
