Python Rebuilds in Fedora: How do we do it, what changed with 3.11
Channel: Fedora Project
Date: 10/10/2022

We want to describe the technical details of how we rebuild ~4k Python packages in Fedora. How was it done with the 3.10 rebuild, what changed when we did Python 3.11. This includes details about:

* mass rebuilding everything in Copr automatically and reporting bugzillas
* resolving dependency order semi-automatically
* building packages in side tag and regular rawhide later
* dealing with Fedora policies and unresponsive maintainers
* activating contingency mechanisms when needed
