I don't think you can just change fedmsg to fedora-messaging, there's a bit of porting likely I think.
Perhaps @pypingou or @abompard could comment on that?

And many many thanks for working on this packaging. :)

Yes, I got in touch with @siddharthvipul and @mscherer regarding the schema of fedora-messaging and got to know that fedmsg and fedora-messaging are not cross-compatible and it seems that there would be some codelevel change required before replacing the dependencies. The schema is something to work on, so I thought that the best way forward would be to, first fix the CI here, then ship this version of the package (with Python 3 updates and fedmsg) as-is for now and come back to porting support with fedora-messaging later.

According to this, fedmsg is no longer packaged on EPEL8 and due to the fact that it is one of the dependencies for Mote, my build fails on EPEL8 chroot. Would it be correct to reach out to the current maintainer of fedmsg to include support for EPEL8 or do we make do with a rendition of the fedmsg package maintained at COPR?

We purposedly do not want to maintain fedmsg in epel8, porting to fedora-messaging isn't really hard and the schema, while necessary, can be done in a second step, which would unblock you.

https://fedora-messaging.readthedocs.io/en/stable/tutorial/conversion.html has some good doc on converting fedmsg applications to fedora-messaging :)

@pypingou Thanks for linking in the documentation.

The fedmsg_consumer.py file is predominantly a consumer and not a publisher, which checks for meetings that have recently finished every after 2 seconds and then executes gathering of the meeting information from the datagrepper with soke.py. Unfortunately, the documentation does not (yet) cover the consumer side of porting from fedmsg to fedora-messaging. Could you please link me to some examples for them?

If you are not a publisher it will make things even easier as there will be no need for message schemas.

As for consuming messages the docs is: https://fedora-messaging.readthedocs.io/en/stable/consuming.html
