Heads-up: python-shapely 2.0.1 coming to Fedora Rawhide/39 (with updated License)
In one week (2023-03-02), or slightly later, I plan to update the
python-shapely package from 1.8.5.post1 to 2.0.1 in Rawhide/F39 by
merging the linked PR[1].
There are incompatible changes[2], but after some patching and some
waiting for upstream releases, all dependent packages now build
successfully in COPR[3], and I believe all upper-bounds on the Shapely
version have been removed or loosened. No action by dependent package
maintainers should be required; however, I am happy to help if you do
encounter any problems.
The License field changes from BSD-3-Clause to (BSD-3-Clause AND
Unlicense AND MIT). The Unlicense term comes from more careful
consideration of the versioneer-generated file shapely/_version.py, and
the MIT term comes from a new bundled source file that is a “copylib”
from https://github.com/attractivechaos/klib.
I have no plans to build Shapely 2 for Fedora 38/Branched.
