Summary

  • Bumps pulpcore-obsolete-packages from 1.4.0 to 1.5.0
  • Adds Obsoletes entries for 63 packages being removed during the EL10 transition
  • 25 new python3.11 Obsoletes for packages that were still on python3.11
  • 25 new python3.12 Obsoletes for packages that had transitioned to python3.12
  • Bumps existing python3.11-aioredis Obsoletes version to cover Release -7

This PR is safe to merge independently — it only adds Obsoletes directives to force-remove old packages during upgrades. No package directories are deleted, no manifest/comps changes, no pipeline risk.

The actual package directory deletions, manifest/comps cleanup, and dependent spec Requires fixes will follow in a separate PR (#2766).

Context

Test plan

  • Verify spec syntax is valid (rpmlint)
  • Verify Obsoletes version-release values are >= last shipped NVR for each package
  • RPM pipeline builds successfully

Reviewed the Obsoletes list against the actual last-shipped NVRs in #2766 (now merged). Found a systematic off-by-one bug affecting 45 of the 51 new entries — this needs to be fixed before merge, or upgrades will silently leave the old packages installed.

The bug

Obsoletes: pkg < X.Y.Z-R where R is set to the package's actual last-shipped Release does not work, because the built RPM's release always carries the %{?dist} suffix (e.g. 6.el9), and RPM version comparison treats 6.el9 as greater than bare 6:

$ rpmdev-vercmp 3.13.0-6.el9 3.13.0-6
3.13.0-6.el9 > 3.13.0-6

So Obsoletes: python3.11-marshmallow < 3.13.0-6 will never match the real installed python3.11-marshmallow-3.13.0-6.el9 — the bound needs to be one release higher than the last shipped release.

The one entry in this PR that is correct proves the point: python3.11-aioredis < 2.0.1-8 (last shipped was 2.0.1-7), and per the PR description this was deliberately "bumped ... to cover Release -7". The other 45 need the same treatment — they're currently set to the exact last-shipped release instead of release+1.

Corrected bounds (last-shipped release + 1)

Obsoletes: python3.11-azure-storage-common < 2.1.0-8
Obsoletes: python3.11-box < 5.1.0-8
Obsoletes: python3.11-cchardet < 2.1.7-6

Obsoletes: python3.12-xlwt < 1.3.0-9
Obsoletes: python3.12-zipp < 4.1.0-2

(bleach-whitelist, coreapi, coreschema already use -8/-9, one above their last shipped -7/-8 — those three are correct as-is.)

Other checks — no issues

  • Coverage is otherwise complete: every package removed in #2766 (all 47 + the follow-up aioredis removal) has a corresponding Obsoletes entry here, at the right Version.
  • libsolv0 and subscription-manager correctly have no Obsoletes entries — neither was ever in package_manifest.yaml, so neither ever shipped as a real package (matches "2 orphaned directories" in #2766's description).
  • One thing I couldn't verify: python3.11-galaxy-ng < 4.5.2-3 — python-galaxy-ng isn't in package_manifest.yaml either (confirmed dead in this repo), so I can't confirm its last real Version/Release from this repo's history. If it really shipped downstream at some point under that NVR, worth double-checking the release bound the same way once you have that history — not blocking either way since it's a no-op if wrong (galaxy-ng was never built from this repo state).

One more thing on top of the off-by-one review above: drop these two lines entirely before merging.

Obsoletes:      python3.12-importlib-metadata < 6.0.1-6
Obsoletes:      python3.12-importlib-resources < 6.4.5-2

Nightly staging repoclosure just broke after #2765/#2766 landed — opentelemetry-api (1.40.0), bandersnatch (6.6.0), and pulp-rpm (3.35.3) all declare importlib-metadata/importlib-resources as unconditional (non-marker-gated) dependencies in their own upstream PyPI metadata, so both packages are still genuinely needed and shouldn't have been removed in #2766 at all.

Opened #2768 to restore python-importlib-metadata (6.0.1-7) and python-importlib-resources (6.4.5-3). If the Obsoletes lines above land here before that merges, the restored packages will immediately self-obsolete. Please drop both lines (the rest of this PR's Obsoletes list, once the release-bound fix from my earlier review is applied, is unaffected).

One more to add to the list — same self-obsoletion problem as importlib-metadata/importlib-resources above:

Obsoletes:      python3.12-zipp < 4.1.0-1

python3.12-importlib-metadata (restored in #2768) declares zipp>=0.5 as an unconditional dependency, and #2768 also restores python-zipp (4.1.0-2) for exactly that reason — it's genuinely still needed, not obsolete. Please drop this line too.

Note the python3.11-zipp < 3.20.2-2 line is a different, unrelated package (the old python3.11 build) and is unaffected — no change needed there.

@Odilhao Updated — all three issues addressed in the latest commit:

  • Off-by-one fix: All 41 affected EL10 Obsoletes entries bumped to last-shipped+1 (19 python3.11, 22 python3.12)
  • Dropped python3.12-importlib-metadata, python3.12-importlib-resources, and python3.12-zipp to avoid self-obsoleting the packages being restored in Restore python-importlib-metadata and python-importlib-resources #2768
  • Release bumped to 1.5.0-2 with a changelog entry explaining both changes

The python3.11 variants of importlib-metadata, importlib-resources, and zipp are left as-is since those cover the old python3.11 builds that are genuinely being removed.

Reminder — both rounds of review feedback above are still outstanding; no new commits have been pushed since.

  1. Release+1 off-by-one bug (first review): 45 of the 51 new Obsoletes bounds are still set to the exact last-shipped release instead of release+1, so they won't actually match the dist-suffixed installed NVR (e.g. python3.11-marshmallow < 3.13.0-6 needs to be < 3.13.0-7). Full corrected list is in that review.

  2. Self-obsoleting lines (second review): this is now more urgent, not less. Restore python-importlib-metadata and python-importlib-resources #2768 has merged, restoring python-importlib-metadata (6.0.1-7), python-importlib-resources (6.4.5-3), and python-zipp (4.1.0-2) — nightly repoclosure is green again because this PR hasn't merged yet. If it merges as currently written, these three lines get re-added and immediately reintroduce the exact breakage Restore python-importlib-metadata and python-importlib-resources #2768 just fixed:

    Obsoletes:      python3.12-importlib-metadata < 6.0.1-6
    Obsoletes:      python3.12-importlib-resources < 6.4.5-2
    Obsoletes:      python3.12-zipp < 4.1.0-1
    

    These three need to be dropped entirely (not bound-adjusted) — the packages are genuinely still needed on python3.12, not obsolete.

Not blocking on CI here since this is an Obsoletes-only change that doesn't rebuild the packages it would affect — the breakage only shows up on the next nightly run after merge, so green checks on this PR don't reflect it.

Re-reviewed. Both rounds of feedback are fully addressed:

  • All 45 previously-wrong Obsoletes bounds now match last-shipped-release+1 exactly (verified programmatically against my corrected list from the first review).
  • The three self-obsoleting lines (python3.12-importlib-metadata, python3.12-importlib-resources, python3.12-zipp) are dropped entirely, not bound-adjusted — correct, since those packages are genuinely still needed post-#2768.
  • python3.11-galaxy-ng is still unverifiable from this repo's history (same caveat as before) but non-blocking either way.

Minor nit, not blocking: the changelog has two separate 1.5.0-1 stanzas (Jul 20 and Jul 22) instead of one merged entry — harmless since this hasn't shipped yet.

Approved. CI still running but mergeable.

- Bumps pulpcore-obsolete-packages from 1.4.0 to 1.5.0
- Adds Obsoletes entries for packages removed during the EL10 transition:
  25 python3.11 entries (packages still on python3.11) and 22 python3.12
  entries (packages that had transitioned to python3.12)
- All release bounds set to last-shipped+1 so they match installed NVRs
  with dist suffixes (e.g. 6.el9 > bare 6 in RPM version comparison)
- Drops python3.12-importlib-metadata, python3.12-importlib-resources, and
  python3.12-zipp Obsoletes — these packages are restored in theforeman#2768 as
  unconditional runtime dependencies of opentelemetry-api, bandersnatch,
  and pulp-rpm; the python3.11 variants are unaffected
