They are upstream.
As far as I understand they have been carefully cherrypicked by the Genshi
Fedora mantainer.

Right now I'm tired, I'm not very lucid. I've been tinkering for a bunch of
hours

From the outside Genshi looks like an abandoned package. It looks like it's
not been worked on for 5 years.

Last release doesn't pass tests and doesn't build with python3

It's not like that. The stuff is scattered in several branches, tickets and
stuff.

Because of my inexperience I didn't look immediately at the Fedora package.
There, things are clear.

I wasted a lot of time on this.

Now I have some inbalanced parenses and I'm too tired to fix them. I have
to rest a bit

Thanks
