Explanation

I am seeking an FPC exemption from the normal package review process for a collection of packages that make up a tool known as "colcon" [1].

Colcon currently consists of 27 Python 3 packages. I have been maintaining those packages in a COPR [2] while I worked to bring the necessary python36-* packages to EPEL 7, but that process is nearing completion, with the remaining packages currently in epel-testing [3][4].

Each of the packages are very similar. Only the colcon_core package installs an executable, and only a handful install anything outside of %{python3_sitelib}. Nearly all run tests via pytest.

Reviewing all 27 packages individually seems a misuse of resources, so I'm seeking review exemption [5] to bring these packages to Fedora and EPEL 7. I'm more than happy to submit a formal review for some of them if that is desired.

Thanks!

Python source packages in Fedora are supposed to be called python-colon-output. I've checked the copr and that appears to be the case here.

Can we get some of the packages (~3) reviewed first and only grant the exception based on the similarity?

Thanks, @churchyard!

Yes - My fault - I should have used the actual source package names in that list.
EDIT: I updated the list in the description for this issue for clarity.

Can we get some of the packages (~3) reviewed first and only grant the exception based on the similarity?

Of course. I opened three reviews for the most unique among the packages. Two of them install files outside of %{python3_sitelib}, and one that is a metapackage. The rest of the packages are nearly identical.

Package are fine and approved.

Thank you @churchyard and @eclipseo. What is the next step to move this forward?

In other words, you're welcome to proceed with requesting repositories for the rest of the packages. Be sure to pass the --exception flag to bypass the requirement for a review ticket. Let me know if you have any problems.

Thank you @james, @tibbs, and the rest of the committee. I have requested repositories for the 27 packages.
