Hello,
I just packaged and built hddfancontrol
(
https://github.com/desbma/hddfancontrol) for Fedora, which is written
in Python 3.
I'd like to get this built for EPEL-- the machine that I want to run it
on is actually a CentOS 7 box. However, there's a problem: it depends on
python-daemon, which only gained python3 support in version 2.0 The EPEL
package provides version 1.6.
So, obviously I can build this in a Copr if I really want, alongside an
updated python-daemon package. However, there is a fork of python-daemon
1.x, python-daemon-3K
(
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-daemon-3K/1.5.8), that supports
Python 3. Upstream hddfancontrol actually depends on this version of
python-daemon, so for Fedora I had to patch it to use python-daemon 2.0
instead.
So perhaps it would make sense to package python-daemon-3K just for EPEL
and have it provide python3*-daemon? Is that a reasonable course of
action here? Any other suggestions besides just using Copr?
Hello,
Have you contacted the EPEL maintainers of python-daemon? I think those
are the people that will give you the best advice around python-daemon
in EPEL.
