Hi,
I have doubts about https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python
"For other executables, the general rule is:
If only one executable is to be shipped, then it owns its own slot and should use /usr/bin/python3 from Fedora 22 on."
The problem is discussed here
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1430020
Please note that I prefer to keep the same spec file for Fedora and EPEL, otherwise it's too much burden maintaining it. I need help for correcting the spec so it complies with the guidelines, and makes sense for the users of the package.
My $0.02:
- I would suggest shipping the /usr/bin scripts in an 'idstools' sub-package that requires the appropriate python?-idstools package.
- Since EL7 predates Fedora 22, python2 is considered the default python there and the idstool scripts should be using the python2 version.
