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If system-config-users is no longer maintained upstream, I do not want to spend time to support libselinux-python2, for the sake of using old software for which bugs will never be fixed upstream.

@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.

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 This software needs be updated to Python 3 compatibility anyway, as Python 2 is no longer updated "even if someone finds a security problem in it" (cf.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/).

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?

paperfolder: As far as I understand, this warning appears for every package that provides a Python library. If you know of a way to bytecode-compile Python scripts without introducing the full path of the scripts in the resulting .pyc files, I will gladly modify the PKGBUILD accordingly.

makepkg returns a warning that the built package contains a reference to $pkgdir - is this a problem during compiling? (archwiki says that this error means the literal string $pkgdir is contained in these files)

==> WARNING: Package contains reference to $pkgdir

Please bump a pkgrel for python 3.8 rebuild~

IooNag commented on 2019-08-24 15:54 (UTC)

reallygrimm: which compiler are you using? The build does not fail with gcc 9.1.0-2 on x86-64, but people on Fedora has reported issues upstreams with gcc 9.1.1 that got fixed by commit https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux/commit/ee8f7a870c625de139aa271eae0c40578488c2f6 . I will backport this patch to the package.
