spyder 3 for Fedora


Spyder 3 was released sometime back and the latest version 3.1.0 was released yesterday. I have working on updating Spyder to 3.x for sometime now. Towards this effort, I got the following packages reviewed and included in Fedora - 

  1. python-QtPy
  2. python-QtAwesome
  3. python-flit
  4. python-entrypoints
  5. python-nbconvert
  6. python-entrypoints
  7. python-pickleshare

In addition to this, the package python-ipykernel had to be reviewed. This was completed sometime towards the end of last year.

Now that all the packages are available (in different forms), I have put together a COPR repo where spyder 3.1.0 package resides. I would like to get these packages tested before I submit it as a big update to Fedora 25.

COPR repo is here - nonamedotc/spyder3 - COPR repo

Of course, this repo can be directly enabled from a terminal -

dnf copr enable nonamedotc/spyder3

To install spyder along with ipython console from this repo, do

dnf install python{2,3}-{spyder,ipython}


Note: ipython package provided by this repo is version 5.1.0 (since ipykernel needs ipython >= 4.0.0). This will necessitate removing the ipython package provided by the Fedora repo. I have requested an update to ipython already [1].


When spyder3 (python3 version of spyder) is launched, there will be a pop-up complaining that rope is not  installed. This is because we do not yet have a python3 version of rope. Ignoring that should not cause major issue.

Obligatory screenshot -


 

Please test these packages and let me know if there are issues so that I can fix and submit an update. I am hoping to submit this as an update as soon as ipython is done.

Xfce 4.12 COPR availbale for Fedora 20 and 21

A COPR repo for Xfce 4.12 is now ready for Fedora 21 and 20. The link to the COPR repo is https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/nonamedotc/xfce412/ If you are one of those using dnf on Fedora 21, the repo can be enabled using dnf copr enable nonamedotc/xfce412 Alternatively, visit the link above and download the .repo file and add it to /etc/yum.repos.d . New package : xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin is a new panel plugin that is available in this repo. Important:    If you have my xfce411 COPR repo enabled, disable it. That repo will go away very soon.     xfce4-mixer in xfce411 COPR repo is version 4.11 whereas one in xfce412 repo is xfce4-mixer-4.10.x. This might need uninstalling the 4.11 version followed by installing the older version from 412 repo. Please report all bug reports related to packages in this COPR repo directly to me. Please do NOT bugzilla for these packages. Alternatively, use Fedoraforums (this link) - http://forums.fedoraforum.org

Xfce 4.11 (development version) repo

Xfce 4.11, the development release in the journey towards the next stable 4.12, was released recently. I have built some Xfce 4.11 components for Fedora 20 and rawhide in COPR. It is not complete yet - xfce4-session is missing for one. I have not seen any problems in my test virtual machines or on my laptop - but that's no assurance. For those who want to try, repository links are below. But first, ** Do not use bugzilla for reporting bugs for this COPR package ** Here is the link to my Xfce - 4.11 repo - https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/nonamedotc/xfce411/ Although, page shows Fedora 19 repo, do NOT try these packages on Fedora 19. Good luck! :)
