Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 32
- Last updated: 2020-02-03
- Tracker bug: #1797603
- Release notes tracker: #442
Detailed Description
The
Upstream is long dead and has a notice on the website that says:
> Nose has been in maintenance mode for the past several years and will likely cease without a new person/team to take over maintainership. New projects should consider using Nose2, py.test, or just plain unittest/unittest2.
We'd like to drop it from Fedora, but 27 packages require it on runtime and 323 on build time (only direct (Build)Requires were counted, on 2020-01-13). Before we attempt to make the number smaller, we need to stop new packages to (Build)Require
Packagers are encouraged to switch to
Benefit to Fedora
No new packages will depend on a dead test runner. Eventually, bootstrapping new Python versions in Fedora won't be blocked on another downstream only patch for nose.
Scope
- Proposal owners: Deprecate
python3-nose

- Release engineering: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
- Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
- Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
Upgrade/compatibility impact
The package will remain available. Only new packages cannot depend on it.
