I know Fedora doesn't directly support Amazon Linux, but I was
wondering if the package maintainer for rpmconf on EPEL was aware that
the latest version doesn't work on Amazon Linux 2, which recently
updated to python-3.7, whereas rpmconf has a direct dependency on
python(abi)=3.6. If it's possible to use '>=3.6' instead, and the
package maintainer is willing to update it so it works with python 3.7
on Amazon Linux 2, that would be great for my use case.
I don't think it would be that easy. rpmconf is byte-compiled for Python
3.6 and everything. I don't think you can just upgrade a major Python
version like that and expect modules built for the previous version to
continue to work. rpmconf would have to be built for Python 3.7 *also*
and since it's not in EPEL, I don't see how that could happen.
