I’ve been lurking on this list for a while, and I wanted to bring myself up
to date. I noticed some talk of a community SCL for a “latest” Python,
which would be a non-patched pure build of Python that is kept up-to-date by
the community. Where is that at? Who is leading it?
That would be me, but it stalled while I was working on some Python
3.7 changes. Happily though, I have some time to spend on
bootstrapping the "rolling Python" SCL this week, so I'm going to
start working through the list of tasks at
https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/SCLo#head-b408f06ad89fd3a67686f755eafac7ce310ee081
(using the rh-python35 collection as a starting point)
So I finally started working on the technical aspects of this, and as
near as I can figure out, what I'll need to do is:
1. Create a new sclo-python metapackage, using
https://github.com/sclorg-distgit/rh-python35/tree/master as a
starting point
2. For now, just create a `sig-sclo7-sclo-python` branch (we can look
at an sclo6 branch once 7 is working)
3. Edit https://github.com/ncoghlan/sclo-python/tree/sig-sclo7-sclo-python
for the rh-python35 -> sclo-python name change
4. Start doing some test builds in COPR as per
https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/docs/
This guide is actually not complete, as I've just realized -- copr is
only one way to build SCLs for www.softwarecollections.org, but we can
include SCLs from CBS (cbs.centos.org, build by SCLo SIG) as well. We
should fix this part of documentation, thanks for pointing to it..
In parallel with that:
4. Submit a buildsys request for an sclo-python tag that's similar to
the existing rh-python35 one (akin to
https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=9661 )
I can help with requesting CBS stuff, I think we can request both and
build el7 first.. existance of the tag el6 does not mean we need to ever
release it.. if we don't want to from some reason..
The only thing we need to make clear is the naming -- sclo-python3 or
sclo-python? From my PoV sclo-python3 better describes what is inside..
but maybe there are other opinions..

5. Figure out what, if anything, needs to be done in terms of adding
relevant branches to the other Python repos on
https://github.com/sclorg-distgit
6. Actually start building real SCLs in the CentOS build system for
publication to softwarecollections.org
Cheers,
Nick.
P.S. Additional next step: provide feedback to the Fedora Modularity
group on which aspects of this strike me as being the most annoyingly
tedious, and what could potentially be done to make
distro-submodule-based SCL definitions and updates less time consuming
than the current process based directly on RPMs and dist-git :)
