Thank you for the clarification. Very good to know!

IIRC, that is exactly what happened with the 3.4 => 3.6 transition. What made 
that particularly painful for me was that the 3.4 versions of many of the 
dependent bits suddenly went away, to be *replaced* (rather than augmented) by 
3.6 ones. This caused major disruption in a number of projects that I maintain 
that had formal dependencies on the 3.4 bits.

Will this same thing happen to the 3.6 bits if we add 3.7? If so, then I would 
strongly oppose making the addition. Having packages spontaneously disappear 
seems to contradict the whole point of having an ‘Enterprise’ distro.

Cheers!

Yes, that is what I've started doing. Effectively, we've pinned it to
3.4.

Unfortunately, that breaks if the local user has created modules of his
own --i.e. not under management by rpm(8)-- and placed them in
'%{_libdir}/python3.4/'. That's actually a pretty common scenario in
our use case!

Cheers!

Life can be complicated at times!  :)

I admit that the way this Python 3.4 => 3.6 update worked suprised me.
I have binary packages that depend on several python34-* packages. The
update broke those in a couple of ways; not only by the disappearance
of the pycurl and mysql pieces, but by the fact that '/usr/bin/python3'
got changed to point to '/usr/bin/python3.6' rather than
'/usr/bin/python3.4'.

What is best practice for specifying Python dependencies so that they
will survive this sort of thing?

Cheers!

I did attempt this initially, but the 'Component' field refuses to
accept 'python34-mysql' or 'python34-pycurl' as a valid value. What
should the proper value there be?

Cheers!

Thank you. That makes perfect sense.

[EPEL-devel] What happened to the 'python34-pycurl' and 'python34-mysql' packages?

2019-04-30 Thread Fred Gleason
Greetings!

I am attempting to ascertain the current status of the 'python34-
pycurl' and 'python34-mysql' packages on EPEL for RHEL7. It appears
that these may have gone missing around the time of the addition of the
'python36-' packages about a month ago. Were these packages withdrawn
intentionally? Curiously, I can still see numerous other 'python34-'
packages --i.e. 'python34-requests' -- as being available. I can also
see that 'python36-pycurl' and 'python36-mysql' packages both
currently exist.

Any assistance greatly appreciated!
