I'd like to drop the python2-rpm subpackage in Fedora 31.
There are a handful of dependencies left for it still but these all appear more
or less dead upstream (and some even downstream), and will go down with the
great python2 flush soon anyway. Kobo is the exception but that has a python3
counterpart already. Here's what repoquery --whatrequires python2-rpm on rawhide
gives today:
ailurus-0:10.10.3-19.fc31.noarch
dmlite-shell-0:1.13.1-2.fc31.x86_64
firmware-tools-0:2.1.15-5.fc29.noarch
FTBFS, should have been retired yesterday.
mach-0:1.0.4-10.fc31.i686
mach-0:1.0.4-10.fc31.x86_64
python2-kobo-rpmlib-0:0.10.0-2.fc31.noarch
Drop announced, doesn't install. Will be dropped ~ 2019-08-15.
repo_manager-0:0.1.0-15.fc31.noarch
system-config-users-0:1.3.8-6.fc29.noarch
FTBFS, should have been retired yesterday.
vdsm-0:4.18.999-447.git0bb7717.fc28.x86_64
FTBFS, should have been retired yesterday.
I'd rather not maintain the python2 bindings for another release
just because a
handful of apparently dead software depends on it.
Thoughts?
CC the maintainers, wait for them to not reply and do it:
