pypi url
by Sander Hoentjen 30 May '16

30 May '16

Hi, It seems that pypi changed the location of downloads [1] This is a bit inconvenient for us, since as far as I know we used to rely on the old url format in Fedora packages. For example, for python-raven I use: Source0: http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/r/raven/raven-%{version}.tar.gz An option would be to use pypi.debian.net, then the line would become: Source0: http://pypi.debian.net/raven/raven-%{version}.tar.gz Not sure if we would want to depend on pypi.debian,net, so we could create pypi.fedoraproject.org for this. Alternatively we could wait and see if the pypi project itself creates a service like this, as mentioned in the linked issue. What are your thoughts?

Does the RPM specfile allow repeating %macro sections?
by Andrew Toskin 26 Apr '16

26 Apr '16

Can you repeat %macro sections in the .spec file? For example, I can imagine situations where you might prefer to write most of the %build scriptlet in Lua, but some parts might still be easier as a regular shell script... Is it possible to have both a %build scriptlet in bash and a %build scriptlet in Lua? Thanks, ~Andrew
