Hi all,
According to the Fedora Packaging guidelines for Python [0], if a Python
packagethat supports Python 3installs executables into //usr/bin/, then
either both Python versions of the executables should be packaged, or
only the Python 3 version, depending on the functionality they provide.
However, after going through all Python 3-compatiblepackages for Fedora,
we have identified up to ~30 packages which provide both python2- and
python3- subpackages with executables available only in the Python 2
version. For more information about obtaining the list refer to the
GitHub issue [1]. The list of the affected packages is available here [3].
Before doing mass bug filing, I would like to post the list of packages
here, to get feedback or ideas on how this can be fixed in a better way
and encourage packagers to do the changes. If you are in Cc, then you
are owing at least one of the affected packages. The guide for porting
Python-based RPMs is available here [2] and you may refer to it for more
instructions.
