Denis Arnaud

I first installed RedHat (version 5, in 1998) with Oracle 8, when that latter was delivered on Linux for the first time... on a small Pentium-based computer with 600MB of disk and 64MB of RAM, hence proving to my hierarchy that Linux was ready for professional use. I started to be involved in the Fedora building process by translating documents and package descriptions, and have become a packager in 2009.

Changes/Python3.9

Hello,
Please note that this comment was generated automatically. If you feel that this output has mistakes, please contact me via email (ignatenkobrain@fedoraproject.org).
Your package (rmol) Fails To Install in Fedora 33:
can't install python3-rmol:
 - nothing provides libboost_python38.so.1.69.0()(64bit) needed by python3-rmol-1.00.4-2.fc32.x86_64
 
If you don't react accordingly to the policy for FTBFS/FTI bugs (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Fails_to_build_from_source_Fails_to_install/), your package may be orphaned in 8+ weeks.
P.S. The data was generated solely from koji buildroot, so it might be newer than the latest compose or the content on mirrors.
P.P.S. If this bug has been reported in the middle of upgrading multiple dependent packages, please consider using side tags: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/rawhide-gating/multi-builds/

Changes/F31Boost170

The task has been given up, as neither Jon nor I have bandwidth for it.

May 2020 - Do not link with libpython3.8+

July 2019 - Python 3.8 for Fedora 31

Testing and mass rebuild of packages is happening in COPR. You can follow these instructions to test locally in mock if your package builds with Python 3.8: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.8/
