salt-master has been broken on Fedora since Fedora 39, when we moved to Python 3.12. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2250197 <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2250197> Upstream doesn't seem particularly interested in supporting anything outside of their 'onedir' packaging, which bundles it's own Python stack. Most of the work required to work on 3.12, I THINK, involves unbundling twisted, which is non-trival.

salt-master has been broken on Fedora since Fedora 39, when we moved to Python 3.12. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2250197 Upstream doesn't seem particularly interested in supporting anything outside of their 'onedir' packaging, which bundles it's own Python stack. Most of the work required to work on 3.12, I THINK, involves unbundling twisted, which is non-trival. The good news is that they do that with the 3007.x series. The bad news is that that requires a recent version of python-cryptography that breaks several other packages: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2257380 Since I needed something that works for config management, I've migrated my own stuff from salt to something that works with distro packaging and doesn't have odd version constraints¹. As a consequence, I can no longer sufficiently test new releases. As a result, I've just sent 3006.8 to updates-testing for rawhide-f38, and will orphan salt on May 21 2024, when f38 is EOL. If someone wants to take ownership before then, please let me know. -Gwyn 1.
