(Cross-posting to meego-dev and meego-packaging since the first attempt
at meego-packaging didn't yield any responses. Sorry for the inconvenience.)
Having created my first MeeGo packages quite recently after having been
quite intimate with Maemo Python packaging for quite some time, I'm
wondering is there any MeeGo packaging policy for Python packages?
The generic MeeGo packaging guidelines [1] doesn't mention Python at
all. The MeeGo OBS rpmlint prints warnings if the packages aren't named
python-xxx and if they don't depend on python-base, indicating that
rpmlint assumes openSUSE Python packaging policy [2]. However, looking
at the actual packages in the repository, they don't follow that at all,
rather hinting towards Fedora packaging conventions [3].
[1] http://wiki.meego.com/Packaging/Guidelines
[2] http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_Python
[3] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Python
Which ones should we follow? I wonder should we also have explicit
guidance about the matter in our packaging guidelines?
Cheers,
ma.
