https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=531648 --- Comment #2 from Dave Malcolm <dmalc...@redhat.com> 2009-10-29 13:42:42 EDT --- (In reply to comment #1) Thanks for the feedback. > 1) Probably the sane thing to do would be to call it easy_install-3, right? > That's what has been done with most of the other tools for Python 3, and it > looks like python-setuptools-devel installs easy_install-2.6. It seems to me > that it would be fine for the Python 3 version to only install under the > versioned name. It already installs a /usr/bin/easy_install-3.1 It's not clear to me if we need an easy_install-3; we could rename it to that, or drop it. > 2) I assume that when the brp-python-bytecompile patch is in, the __python def > will go away, right? I also used __python in order to override the standard python fragments for getting sitearch/sitelib for setup, build and install. One of my aims is to minimize the diff against the original specfile. > 3) The python_sitelib stuff looks a bit hackish, but there might not be any > better way to do it. What do you see as hackish about it? I'm trying to follow the changes proposed here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-packaging/2009-October/msg00042.html to these: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python (which work around the "print" change from 2 to 3; again trying to keep the 2 and 3 versions in sync) > 4) I still think it's insane that easy_install is in the -devel subpackage. I > know that this is a carryover from the python2 packaging, but I think it's > worth reconsidering. If I recall correctly, the rationale was that > easy_install depended on some files from python-devel, or something like > that. > Anyway, I think it's a disservice to users that the setuptools package doesn't > include easy_install. I want to stick as close as possible to the python 2 version of the package, so I'd suggest taking that up as a separate bug report against that package. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
