Hi list,
I'm the maintainer of python-zmq and it would be nice, if I could use
it also on el5, but I need python26 for that.
Would it be ok, to use it and provide a python26-zmq or is an extra
review request needed for that?
Couldn't find any guideline, that forbits it, but there doesn't seem
to be any naming guideline for el, isn't it?
There aren't proper guidelines for this but there is this page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Python26#Packaging_Guidelines_for_EPEL5
Here's the caveats: dmalcolm is in favor of combined packaging when
possible (ie, in the non-RHEL/EPEL split case) for packager convenience.
I'm in favor of split packages for the reasons given on that page.
It sounds like you're thinking python-zmq won't exist on EPEL6, only the
python26-zmq subpackage. With that in mind, only the bugzilla consideration
seems to apply.
