Mention dist-info files in the packaging policy?
by Nick Coghlan 23 Sep '15

23 Sep '15

I just noticed that the packaging policy doesn't currently mention dist-info directories, only the older egg-info: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python#Files_to_include Does that need to go through FPC, or can we just fix it as a bug fix that brings the downstream docs in line with the upstream metadata generation? Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan(a)gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia

macros.python2 requires update in F21+
by Haïkel 10 Sep '15

Hi, Recently, we had a lot of issues with openstack packages due to python newer guidelines. To fix upgrade path for python2 modules, you had to obsolete previous python-xxx module. Orion committed a fix in rawhide in the macro %python_provides that fixes that issue. http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/python.git/commit/?id=7fdb9bedcda48894b7… http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/python.git/commit/?id=cb9dd734593c52b84f… Could we backport these in F21/22/23 ? It's rather critical, as we have less experienced packagers pushing updates without checking the upgrade path or provides/obsoletes. Having a reliable %python_macros as in rawhide makes it more robust and will avoid breaking users dependencies I prefer that python maintainers do the update as it's a critical package, but I don't mind doing it in their stead if you approve this (if necessary) Regards, H.
