Re: MASS CHANGE announcement: python2- prefix renaming, part 2
Hi,
if the timing is not good, then I can take the generated patch set and
turn it into Pagure Pull Requests with a script. Packagers would be able
to review/merge them during the holidays and we can merge the rest on
January 2nd. This is just a suggestion, let me know if it sounds like an
idea and if it would be of any help.
Regards,
Iryna Shcherbina

Actually that's on purpose: I wanted to do the rebuilds over the
holidays, without bothering anybody or interfering with anybody's
work. In case there are any regressions, people will most likely
report them early in January so there'll be time to fix everything
when everybody is back to work and fresh.
