@IooNag:

You are of course still free to work on package libselinux-python2 and backport bug fixes that could happen in libselinux's Python bindings.

I am not that interested, too. I just needed an easy-to-use tool and someone adviced system-config-users. It seemed natural to me to package it, even if arch is slowly deprecating all python2-* packages.

If someone will ever want to use it in the future (for whatever reason) now can do it easily (because PKGBUILDs won't be lost even when SELinux will end support).

I did this for screem, too.

IooNag commented on 2020-02-12 21:00 (UTC)

@tallero: it seems that system-config-users could be installed on RHEL/CentOS 7, but not on CentOS 8 according to https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/547437/centos-8-system-config-users. Moreover this question suggests using Cockpit instead, which has already been packaged for Arch Linux (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/cockpit/).

Anyway, if you want to fork/adopt system-config-users and maintain it on https://gitlab.com/tallero/system-config-users, that's nice. Nevertheless I do not want to maintain a libselinux-python2-v3.0 package because this version is not supported upstream (by SELinux developers) and the future releases of libselinux are likely to break Python 2 compatibility. This is a matter of personal choices in the way I define how I spend my time. You are of course still free to work on package libselinux-python2 and backport bug fixes that could happen in libselinux's Python bindings.

@IooNag: I agree with you. In any case libselinux-python2 packages just bindings and until the tool has not been replaced/ported to pygobject (if ever) it could simply stabilize on 3.0. This was packaged because of this question. Can't find the original git repo, only tarballs, check this.

tallero : is system-config-users maintained? The upstream of this project (Red Hat) seems to no longer maintain it (and the RPM seems not to exist for "recent" releases such as CentOS 8 or Fedora 31 on https://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=system-config-users).

If system-config-users is no longer maintained upstream, I do not want to spend time to support libselinux-python2, for the sake of using old software for which bugs will never be fixed upstream.

tallero commented on 2020-02-11 22:17 (UTC)

@IooNag: I know of Python 2.x EOL; the library (same tar of this package) can still produce 2.x bindings. The software that needs it is system-config-users, the users/groups GUI manager included in Red Hat/CentOS 7.x.

I just noticed gnome-system-tools.

IooNag commented on 2020-02-11 19:41 (UTC)

tallero: Python 2 is no longer supported by SELinux userspace tools and libraries, since commit https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux/commit/214cb61d539f75e5290928cb7bba5b2646632d0b that is included in release 3.0. This is why I removed Python 2 library from libselinux package.

What software are you using that requires Python 2's bindings of libselinux? This software needs be updated to Python 3 compatibility anyway, as Python 2 is no longer updated "even if someone finds a security problem in it" (cf. https://www.python.org/doc/sunset-python-2/).

tallero commented on 2020-02-11 18:09 (UTC)

I forked the package to build and install only python 2.x bindings in libselinux-python2. Could you add the option to build them into this one so that I can drop the newborn depedency?
