Yes, there are people here who do everything around distro RPM-building here :) AFAIK no RPM based distribution uses the specfile from the Python tarball. Our specfiles (Fedora/Red Hat Enterprise Linux) are much more complex to satisfy all the downstream policies and such. In case you're interested, you can have a look at our current python3.spec [1]. Feel free to reuse it (all Fedora specfiles are licensed under MIT license unless noted otherwise). > > This is like no support. > > Unfortunately, yes.

I can help with RPM related questions (it'd probably be best to ask them privately, since their offtopic for this list), but I have pretty much zero knowledge of AIX - so I won't be able to help you with AIX-specific issues. -- Regards, Slavek Kabrda [1] http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/python3.git/tree/python3.spec _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
