Hello Fedora packagers.
Unfortunately, we need to rebuild all Fedora 43 (and 44) packages with Python
3.14 .pyc files. To obtain a list, use:
$ repoquery --repo=rawhide --refresh -f *.cpython-314.pyc --source
(3931 unique packages)
This is needed because Python 3.14 just bumped the pyc "magic number" (version)
due to a severe bugfix [1].
Packages with old .pyc files will have slower import times and might report AVC
denials in restricted contexts. However, they remain functional, there is no
need to panic.
The plan, as of now, is:
1. Either wait for Python 3.14.0rc2 release or backport the change.
2. Wait for the Fedora 43 branching to finish.
3. Bump and build all 3931 packages in rawhide (except kernel).
4. FF-merge into f43 and build all packages that match the criteria:
a) the rawhide and f43 branches were not different before 3.
b) they have no update stuck in bodhi/gating.
5. Open bugzillas for the remaining packages (failed or skipped rebuild).
The rebuild can be done in any order (i.e. all at once) and does not need to
happen in a side tag.
I will follow up when things start moving. Let me know if I should alter the
plan somehow.
