Jaroslav Škarvada mailto:jskar...@redhat.com requested that i move the 
discussion from:

      https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1410366

about unifying the graphviz .spec file with upstream, to this list.


Perhaps the unification objective is not attainable because of different 
requirements?


Upstream, we have single a distro-agnostic  (RH and non-RH) graphviz.tar.gz 
portable sources:

     http://graphviz.org/Download_source.php

and then for RH, all distros, we have a single graphviz.src.rpm containing a 
universal graphviz.spec.

     http://graphviz.org/Download_linux_fedora.php


This works well for me, upstream, for building and testing across all 
distributions, but perhaps the .spec file is less optimal when you separately 
maintain versions for each distribution?


My preference would be to unify to a single .spec file,  rather than to ~10 
different ones,  but maybe you will tell me that that isn't possible.   In 
which case i would probably keep a separate single .spec for upstream builds.


Minimally I'd like to reach some agreement on the set of sub-packages and their 
names?


On the topic (from the bug report)  of (e.g.)  "graphviz-lang-python2"  vs 
"python2-graphviz"

would it be possible to discuss an exception?


My key issues are that the packages are a subpackages of graphviz, owned by 
graphviz,  supported by graphviz,  from a single swig "gv.i" template for all 
languages.    I feel that reversing the naming loses the common connection of 
these packages.   Also I fear that the renaming may not go well since chances 
are that someone else already has an xxx-graphviz.


All feedback considered.


John
