Hello folks,
I got a problem when packaging a new package, ibus-bogo [1]. Upstream developers use Python 3 bindings for Qt4 while I just found python-pyside (for Python 2) in Fedora package database [2].
Seems I need to work on another new package python3-pyside too, right? Any ideas and suggestions?
Btw, I submitted a new request on Bugzilla [3] to get that new package reviewed. It's highly appreciated if someone can take a look at.
[1] https://github.com/BoGoEngine/ibus-bogo-python [2] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/python-pyside [3] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=917365
Thanks in advance, Tuan

It looks like pyside is a good candidate for a python3 subpackage: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python#Subpackages
You can open a bugzilla against python-pyside and request that the maintainers also build pyside for python3 (which at first glance looks like it would be a trivial task). If you are familiar with python packaging then you can speed things along by posting a patch for the spec yourself that adds python3 support. I've done this a couple of times: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=909831 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=911933
Kind regards,

Thanks for your suggestions.
I see it's best to try to package missing packages.
