What about adding conditionals like
%if 0%{?rhel} > 7 || 0%{?fedora} > 31
# Disable python2 build by default
%bcond_with python2
%else
%bcond_without python2
%endif
starting now?
I am not against that. However currently that number (31) is
somewhat artificial. it's up to the maintainer to choose if it's 28
or 32 (or anything in between). Should we somehow recommend a
specific Fedora release here? Why 31?
Re 31: my thinking was that python2-eos is at 2010-01-01. If we keep
up current biannual release schedule, we'll have 28 and 29 this year,
30 and 31 in 2019, and 32 in early 2020. But this is of course wrong,
because we need python2 support for the lifetime of the release, not
just at the start. So actually 29 which will be supported until
2018-10-30 + 13 months ≈ 2020-01-01, is the last release overlapped
by python2 support. This right conditional would be:
%if 0%{?rhel} > 7 || 0%{?fedora} > 28
but that round around the corner. So it's not even necessary to add
the conditional, as long as the patch to drop support is only added
in rawhide, not F28.
OK, so I withdraw my objections. Removing python2 support in rawhide
is fine.
Pff, sorry I can't count. The right conditional would be
%if 0%{?rhel} > 7 || 0%{?fedora} > 29
so dropping support in rawhide right now would be premature. It seems
that adding a conditional like that is the way to go for now.
Compared to just removing the subpackage, it's a difference of just one
release. It may not be worth the complication of conditionalizing
everything.
I'd say maintainers can either drop the subpackages now in Rawhide, or
add a conditional for Fedora > 29 -- up to the maintainer.
