while trying to upgrade Python in Factory to 3.8 we got this beauty https://build.opensuse.org/project/staging_projects/openSUSE:Factory/A Could I ask anybody who has any free work cycles to take a look and help with fixing those failing packages, please?
I'm a bit concerned about how many back-port patches are needed to get Python 3.8 out. Especially I'm concerned about back-port patches not being coordinated with upstream resulting in a huge number of update work piling up. AFAIK Fedora provides several minor versions of Python 3 in parallel (packages python3x). Wouldn't it be worth to rather work on this than putting everbody at risk that python3 backed by Python 3.8 breaks many things? Ciao, Michael.
