== Summary == See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/No_more_automagic_Python_bytecompilation Now we are changing the default to be <code>%global _python_bytecompile_extra 0</code>. == Owner == * Name: Miro Hrončok (Churchyard) * Name: Petr Viktorin (pviktori) * Email: mhron...@redhat.com, pvikt...@redhat.com == Detailed Description == See thed etailed Description of the previous Change Proposal: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/No_more_automagic_Python_bytecompilation#Detailed_Description We will now set <code>%_python_bytecompile_extra</code> to <code>0</code> by default. All packages that ship Python 3 bytecode outside of Python 3 directories should be preferably converted to use <code>%py_byte_compile</code>, but if they are not, it's fine. We'll check all pyc/pyo files shipped by packages. We'll check if those are explicitly compiled using <code>%py_byte_compile</code>. If not, we mass push `%global _python_bytecompile_extra 1` to the package specs to make them work. It's up the package maintainers to adjust the package to the new style (or keep the line forever). == Benefit to Fedora == See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/No_more_automagic_Python_bytecompilation#Benefit_to_Fedora == Scope == * Proposal owners: Change the default, slightly change the guidelines, get the list of packages, push the change into them. * Other developers: Maintainers of python3 packages are encouraged to change their packages to use explicit <code>%py_byte_compile</code> (not a System Wide Change, they don't have to do anything). * Policies and guidelines: will be changed as described in description == Upgrade/compatibility impact == None expected. == How To Test == N/A == User Experience == The users of this change are packagers. The new behavior should make byte-compilation more obvious, explicit, and discoverable. Users of Fedora should not feel this (except if this change uncovers a packaging bug). == Contingency Plan == * Contingency mechanism: we'll finish the change later (not a System Wide Change) == Documentation == The guidelines will be the documentation. == Release Notes == This change does not deserve Release Notes, it is not user facing. -- Ben Cotton Fedora Program Manager TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/GBASVMDCUBEZ2O2LQVJC4AR454A4CML7/
