Hello everyone,

Since the last couple of weeks, I have restarted the work on Mote[1] with a definitive checkpoint to package all changes made so far (which includes porting to Python 3 and phasing out of the use of Memcached) in a version bump 0.7.0, packaged for RHEL8. I have contacted Chaoyi Zha (FAS:cydrobolt) and took up the packaging[2] task soon after but one of the first builds failed[3] due to the intended non-availability of fedmsg on RHEL8.

It would be some time before the CI would be converted[4] from Python 2 to Python 3 with Tox, something that Jan Kuparen (FAS:copperi) is working on - only after which the repo would be able to accept pushes/merges made against the primary branch. I wish to ask if there is any proposed deadline for this packaging task on RHEL8. If there is one, we would want to first discuss deployment on a RHEL7 based container before the porting happens.
