STINNER Victor <vstin...@redhat.com> added the comment: I discussed the "rpath question" with different people. At the end, I think that the Fedora patch is "temporary fix" which we kept for way too long :-) We should remove this patch and ensure that upstream C extensions respect our rpath policy (Debian, OpenSuse, Fedora are against the usage of rpath).
I discussed with Miro Hrončok who is part of FESco (Fedora Engineering Steering Committee) and he created an issue to propose to make the build of a package *fail* if it uses rpath: https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/886 That change would be affect the whole Fedora project, not just python packages. IMHO it's a better approach than trying to exclude rpath for LIBDIR which is equal to /usr/lib64. For these reasons, I close the issue and we will change Fedora instead. Thanks everybody who was involved in this discussion, I learnt a lot! :-) ---------- resolution: -> fixed stage: patch review -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36659> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
