The gpsd upstream just announced the imminent release of 3.17
(http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/gpsd-dev/2017-09/msg00003.html ).
Some of the changes involve direct support of python3 and the ability to
specify the target python build. So perfect for the Fedora python
efforts! I've already checked the build with python2 and python3 with
the tests on my F26 box locally, and have begun prepping the spec file
for the 3.17 drop, complete with python2 and python3 subpackages.
Great news!
So with that I have a couple of questions:
1. Since the PR for the python2 subpackage split just happened
(https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gpsd/pull-request/1 ), does it make
sense to just delete that one and await the 3.17 version bump as well as
the better versioned python support? And if so, would you prefer a
squashed commit with all changes? Or is there no preference?
I don't think it is important. Either squashed or new commits, whatever
works for you. I would mention the 3.17 release in the PR and inform the
maintainers that you are going to update the change.
2. One change I noticed with 3.17 is renaming libgpsd.pc -> libgps.pc.
This is a very sensible change, since the pkgconfig is for the library
(libgps) and not the executable (gpsd). If the depending packages are
looking for the old pkgconfig name, what is the best way to go about
having the coordinated packages for them? Just mention in other PR for
the downstream packages that the name change is dependent on this
particular gpsd version?
Would symblinking the file back for backwards compatibility work? (I
haven't tried that with pkgconfig).
Thanks,
Troy
