python34 packages for EPEL - python-devel - Fedora mailing-lists

15 Jul 2015

Sorry for the cross posting - let's follow up on the EPEL list
We now have python34 in EPEL (yay - thanks Matej and others!).  Starting to
look at packaging some modules.  We have
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Bkabrda/EPEL7_Python3 as a starting point
which looks pretty good.  One wrinkle though is that we have a bunch of
python2 packages provided by RHEL that we'll want to provide python3X versions
for in EPEL, but not ship python2 versions.  So a question becomes, where do
they get maintained?  Either:
- epel7 branch of the python-blah package in Fedora?
- a new python3X-blah package?
And if in an epel7 branch of an existing package, is it conceivable to
maintain a common spec across EPEL and Fedora?
I think this is somewhat representative of the changes needed in a more
complicated package (setuptools) which isn't actually too terrrible:

 Setuptools is a collection of enhancements to the Python 3 distutils that allow
 you to more easily build and distribute Python 3 packages, especially ones that
 have dependencies on other packages.

One note - according to
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Bkabrda/EPEL7_Python3#Specfiles.2C_Macro...
%{python3_pkgversion} is supposed to be defined in Fedora, but I don't see it
(at least not in F22). In the review
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1219411#c8) there seems to be
some uncertainty as to where it will land?
Comments?
