Hi folks,
I would like to inform you, that net-snmp package will use Python3 package instead of Python2. With this change, python2-net-snmp package will be renamed to python3-net-snmp package. This change will be applied in Fedora Rawhide and Fedora 28.
I would be glad for any feedback.
This sounds a bit odd. What do you mean by 'renamed', exactly? It's not as if you can just have python3-net-snmp provide and obsolete python2- net-snmp ; any dependency which actually needs the python2 one is not going to keep working with this change.
Do you just mean the python2-net-snmp package will go away and anything using it has to migrate to python3-net-snmp? If so, have you actually looked at the things that use it and considered how difficult it will be to migrate them?
I see, for instance, '389-ds-base-owner' CCed on this mail; if 389-ds- base depends on python2-net-snmp it is not at all going to be acceptable to just throw it away without regards to whether 389-ds-base can reasonably migrate to python3 right now. That is a core component of one of our release-blocking deliverables, Fedora Server.
