I have a related question, actually. We're splitting a package out of the main 'sssd' package so that the pure-python config API lives in a noarch package instead of the main (arch-full) package.
If that "pure python config API" is a python module, then a python- prefix is the way to go.
Though... it may also help frame the answer if you could describe the purpose of making the subpkg in the first place?
See https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/1839
- From my comments in the patch review thread: Rel-eng was complaining that we had python modules contained in an
arch-specific package that were being put on disk in a noarch location. Rel-eng made the incorrect assumption that this meant that the modules were actually arch-specific, which they are not; SSSDConfig is pure-python and safely noarch.
The correct solution to this is for us to add a python-sssdconfig noarch subpackage and Requires: it from the 'sssd' package (for backwards compatibility).
I'm not sure I would agree with the original assertion or this "correct solution" conclusion. At least, it's not supported by our packaging guidelines anywhere that I'm aware of. (or is it?)
