#139 python-gssapi does not exist in EPEL

Closed: Invalid 8 years ago Opened 8 years ago by lsedlar.

While python-gssapi is available in Fedora, it does not exist in EPEL.

https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/python-gssapi

If we want to provide packages for it, we need to fix this in some way.

As a result of this, the COPR builds are failing: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/lsedlar/compose-tools/build/473948/

Just tried to build python-gssapi, but failed. It requires Cython >= 0.21, unfortunately, there is also no EPEL packages of Cython. Maybe we can do following in parallel.

In rpkg, use python-krbV if python-gssapi is not available.
Modify SPEC, require python-krbV and python-gssapi in RHEL6/7 and Fedora respectively.
Request EPEL packages from python-gssapi package maintainers.

Once the EPEL packages are available one day, remove dependency of python-krbV again.

I agree. The move to gssapi is mostly motivated by moving to Python 3, which is not coming to EPEL any time soon I think.

My guess is that @ausil is interested in dropping python-krbV as well. Dennis, do you have any suggestion how to resolve this? Can we have Cython in EPEL as well?

rhel7 has python-gssapi in it "python-gssapi": {"release": "2.el7", "epoch": "0", "version": "1.2.0", "arch": ["x86_64", "ppc64", "ppc64le"], "channel": ["rhel-7-server-rpms"]}, you can see at https://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/repo/json/pkg_el7.json

we can work with @simo who owns python-gssapi to get it into epel6

python-gssapi is not used in rpkg already. This issue is invalid for rpkg since rpkg-1.47.

@cqi changed the status to Closed
