Summary

Owner

Name: Scott Talbert
Email: swt@techie.net
Release notes owner:

Current status

Targeted release: Fedora 24
Last updated: 2016-01-03
Tracker bug: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>

Detailed Description

Suds is a SOAP-based web service client for Python which is currently packaged in Fedora as python-suds. This change proposal aims to update the python-suds package to use the fork maintained by Jurko Gospodnetić. Currently Fedora has the original version of Suds which has not been maintained or updated since 2011. The existing version does not support Python 3.

Benefit to Fedora

This change brings a more modern Suds to Fedora, including Python 3 support and various bug fixes.

Scope

Proposal owners:

Update existing python-suds package to suds-jurko and ensure it builds/works in Rawhide. (NOTE: proposal owner is not currently the maintainer of python-suds.) The plan is to use the latest hg snapshot of suds-jurko.
In conjunction with the python-suds dependent package maintainers, help test dependent packages to ensure they work correctly with the new package.

Other developers:

For maintainers of packages that depend on python-suds: test the dependent packages to ensure they work correctly with the updated python-suds package. No changes should be needed as the Jurko fork is believed to maintain compatibility with the original Suds.

Release engineering: None
- List of deliverables: None

Policies and guidelines: None

Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)

Upgrade/compatibility impact

No impact expected.

How To Test

No special hardware or data is required. To test, one would install a python-suds dependent package and verify that it functions as it did with the previous package.

User Experience

No changes expected to user experience.

Dependencies

The packages below depend on python-suds in Rawhide. The test status will be tracked in the table below.

Package	Status
chirp
condor-aviary-common
condor-aviary-hadoop-common
congruity
fence-agents-ovh
fence-agents-pve
fence-agents-vmware-soap
python-manila
python-oslo-vmware
python-psphere
python-vatnumber
virt-who

Contingency Plan

Contingency mechanism: Revert python-suds back to the previous release.
Contingency deadline: Beta Freeze
Blocks release? No
Blocks product? No

-<!-- This does not need to be a full-fledged document. Describe the dimensions of tests that this change implementation is expected to pass when it is done.  If it needs to be tested with different hardware or software configurations, indicate them.  The more specific you can be, the better the community testing can be.

-Remember that you are writing this how to for interested testers to use to check out your change implementation - documenting what you do for testing is OK, but it's much better to document what *I* can do to test your change.
-A good "how to test" should answer these four questions:
-. What special hardware / data / etc. is needed (if any)?
-. How do I prepare my system to test this change? What packages
-need to be installed, config files edited, etc.?
-. What specific actions do I perform to check that the change is
-working like it's supposed to?
-. What are the expected results of those actions?
