Hi,
EPEL is a set of packages which work for CentOS and RHEL versions 6
and 7. In the version 7, we are currently using python34 and would
like to move this to python36. In doing so, we need help in both our
packaging rules and in updating a lot of packages to work for
python36.
First problem: Packaging rules.
Because there could be updates of python versions from 3.4 to 3.6 or
3.8, we wanted to make clear what python was used for any particular
library. This would make it so someone needing python-bottle did not
end up with one packaged with python-3.6 installed on a python-3.4
system. So we wanted the names to be more specific than python3 and
went with naming all the sub packages python34 or python36.
However, this was decided a while ago and it may not be the best
convention to use or one that the current python sig would like us to
use. I would like to get a naming convention cleared up and documented
so when we do a mass rebuild that the packages come out with either a
python3- or python36-
Second problem: When to do this update
We had been looking to do this in October, but it may make more sense
to do this in November after Fedora29 has shipped so that people can
help focus on this versus anything F29 related. It also gives us some
lead time to write blogs/magazine items. How does 2018-11-14 sound?
Third problem: Updating and rebuilding packages to work with python36
Below are the list of packages I found which were making
python34- packages currently in EPEL-7. In updating to
python36, I would like to have a combined Virtual Fedora Activity Day
where we work together on IRC. First we would get any scripts ready
and then work with release engineering to change macros in epel-macros
to point to the correct versions of python and any name changes. We
would then do a mass release bump and rebuild all the packages against
python3.6. As problems are found during that day we would make
appropriate changes and fix.
This might take 2 gos.
