Hello everyone,

with the upcoming Python 3.10 update we need to update Python 3 version globs in Fedora specfiles. The reason is simple, Python version will be one character longer so the currently omnipresent ?.? glob won't work anymore. We did this change a few months ago (see: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/PQIGCQCRNBYNXBX2ICWEM3PLDLNOG2ZT/), but we found out that the queries were incomplete, hence here is another update for the 3.? glob.

We will replace such globs with the %{python3_version} macro using:

    

    $ sed -i -e 's/3\.?/%{python3_version}/g' *.spec 

There are currently 48 affected packages.

    $ grep -l 'py3.?' *.spec | wc -l  48

The sed can theoretically produce unwanted changes, but when guarded by the grep, we have verified it won't. You can observe the general diff of all affected specfiles at https://github.com/hrnciar/rpm-specs/commit/7224a5.

We plan to do this in one week via a provenpackager.  We will not bump the release number, nor add a changelog entry and hence we will also not rebuild the packages. The commit message will be:

    

       Replace Python version glob with macro (needed for Python 3.10+)

       

If you want to fix this differently in your package, you don't need to let us know, just do it. If you want to opt out from this change, let us know (ideally with some reasoning). If you found a mistake in the diff, please do let us know.  

Regards, 

Tomáš Hrnčiar
