To be more precise, AFAIU there's no "merging", *.pyo goes away but in exchange there are actually two new optimized bytecode files, *.opt-1.pyc and *.opt-2.pyc: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0488/ If you want to exclude them from packages, they should be there listed as %ghost so they're removed in case they get generated by something run with -O or -OO. Ditto *.pyo if you intend to exclude them from python < 3.5 packages. Also, be careful with measuring space savings when working with *.pyo. It is a common case that *.pyc and *.pyo are identical, and when they are rpmbuild already hardlinks them. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
