python2.7 upgrade may be proceding ok except for an rpmlint-mini build
failure.

is this _core_ pkg totally undocumented? the url in the spec file just
points to rpmlint; i don't understand what 'mini' implies.

i guess i could manually (and repeatedly) hack the magical file:
Source100:      rpmlint-deps.txt
to _add_ missing (but not _remove_ obsoleted?) python2.7 dependencies that
are complained about during rpmlint-mini package build, until the build
succeeds. this must surely be non-backward compatible w/ current py2.6.
rpmlint-deps.txt currently has 226 module names (.pyo or .so), one per
line, not in alphabetical order...

but i can't imagine that is the actual procedure to update this package...
it certainly does not seem to be as simple as, e.g.,
find /usr/lib/python2.7 -name '*.so'
find /usr/lib/python2.7 -name '*.pyo'

the rpmlint-mini changelog shows there might be some useful info:
* Sat Jan 09 2010 Anas Nashif <[email protected]> - 1.1
- Fixed python dependencies

i'm assuming i cannot diff / look at that change from the current mer
rpmlint-mini.git (initial import dated 2011-10-04)?

likewise, on crumbling(!) build.pub.meego.com obs i cannot find any
remaining project / pkg that might contain the meego era rpmlint-mini on
which i could do an osc diff, etc.?

let me know if some / all of this info should just be placed in a generic
rpmlint-mini bug for archival / placeholder purposes prior to the hacking
in support of py2.7.

thanks for any info
