Hi Pythonists!
in RHBZ #736776, Yury V. Zaytsev proposed renaming all Django packages
(including Django itself) to python-django-*. This change is suggested because
of current inconsistent state: Django and Django-south packages start with
capital letters, other Django extension libraries start with lowercase letters
- django-*. Also, since Django is a Python framework (not a standalone app),
all of the modules should have 'python-' prepended. Personally, I agree with
Yury and I think we should make this change. Here are the steps that I propose:
- discuss it on this list
- ask FPC what they think
- create a special section in Python packaging guidelines for packaging Django
extensions/libraries, if we agree that we should do this change
- perhaps postponing this change to F18 might be a good idea
Note, that this change should not affect applications written in Django, only
Django itself and its extensions/libraries. I would also consider using some
kind of virtual provides, so that if someone types "yum install django", it
will work - maybe each Django extension/library could have a virtual provide
like "Provides: django(foo) = %{version}".
So, what do you think?
Regards,
Bohuslav.
