Hello all, I'm the current maintainer for the python-bsddb3. Recently, it FTBFS in Rawhide [1], and the upstream now considers it deprecated [2], replaced with the `berkeleydb` python package.

I have packaged the `bsddb3` back when I was also maintainer of libdb in Fedora. I no longer take care of it, and I'm not interested in packaging the newer bindings. I've reached out to libdb maintainer, and they are not interested either [3].

The only packages that require the python-bsddb3 packages seem to be:
exaile (runtime and buildtime) gramps (runtime) python-zarr (buildtime only)
The maintainers are CC'd; feel free to reach to me if you want to take over python-bsddb3. If not, be advised that I intend to orphan it in a week or two, and your package will probably need changes.

As announced in the OP of this thread, I have now orphaned the package. -- Jan Staněk Software Engineer, Red Hat jstanek@redhat.com irc: jstanek
