I forwarded an earlier message marking the deprecation of Python2 in Fedora 30. This makes it official. In order to have Chirp packaged for Fedora 30, it will have to be ported to python3.

In line with the "Mass Python 2 Package Removal" Fedora 30 Change [0], we've just marked python2 and all it's subpackages as deprecated in rawhide [1].

No new packages can depend on python2 except renames and FESCo/FPC exceptions. See more info in the Guidelines for Deprecating Fedora Packages [2].
