Dear Christophe,
while I understand your strive for getting rid of Python2 builds, I have to dispute the way, it is done right now.
Look at python-qt5, you added:
%if 0%{?suse_version} > 1500 ExclusiveArch: do_not_build %endif
for the Python2 flavor.
This procedure makes it exceptionally hard for those of us, that still have to deal with Python2 legacy, since it forces us to edit each and every spec, just to remove these lines.
This was a request from Tomáš yesterday. To quote him: build issues this may cause for packages using a single spec will be solved with macros. osc whatdependson openSUSE:Factory python-qt5:python2 standard x86_64 doesn't list many things anyway.
Suggestion/RFC
Create an conditional symbol at project level:
%if 0%{?suse_version} > 1500 %bcond_with deprecated_python2_build %else %bcond_without deprecated_python2_build %endif
and in package specs:
%if ! %{with deprecated_python2_build} ExclusiveArch: do_not_build %endif
This would only be a short term solution. When things settle down in factory, I plan to upgrade python-sip to 5.x which doesn't support python2 but is required by the latest python-qt5 releases.
