Hello,
I'm working on adding python3.11-rpm to EPEL 9 and EPEL 9 Next.
See https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python3-rpm/pull-request/3 and 4.
Cool!
I decided to reuse the python3-rpm component (currently epel7 only).
Let me
know if I should not.
Are we able to build for multiple Python versions out of the same
specfile?
That PR has:
```
+ # We'll build python3.11-rpm only for now
+ # Once a new Python version is added,
+ # the spec will need to change to support multiple Pythons anyway
+ %global python3_pkgversion 3.11
```
but I thought we got rid of the %py3_other_* stuff that allowed building
for multiple Python versions out of the same specfile.
Unless there's some other way to work around this, I'd use a
python3.11-rpm or python3.11-rpm-epel component like we've been doing
for the other alt python stacks in RHEL 8.
If there is a significant demand, I can try add this (and
python39-rpm) to EPEL
8 as well.
As I said on IRC, I'd like that for fedrq.
