#2755 Proven packager request for thrnciar
Closed: Accepted by ngompa. Opened by thrnciar.

Hello,

I would like to apply for a membership in the proven packager group. I am part of Python SIG and currently I am working on delivering Python 3.11 in Fedora 37 (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Python3.11). This will require mass rebuild of all Python packages in a side-tag. I would like to use the proven packager's rights to be able to bump release numbers of all affected packages.

In the past I've worked on various tasks that required mass pushing into rawhide branches. During those occasions I couldn't do it myself and I had to ask @churchyard for help. I've prepared the commits (or scripts) and he pushed (or run) them.

  • Python 3.10 in Fedora 35
    • This was similar to the Python 3.11 change I am currently working on, requiring release bump in spec files.
    • https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Python3.10
  • Replacing Python version globs with macros to support 3.10
    • https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/python-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/PQIGCQCRNBYNXBX2ICWEM3PLDLNOG2ZT/
  • Explicit listing of python3-setuptools BuildRequires in spec files
    • https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/NTC35XOIEGBICNFG3CZIFPBRCK5K5MPX/
