Is that correct? If so, what's the right way to fix this?
The name of the .src.rpm isn't really super important and changing it is a bit of a pain (you have to do a package rename request which is more or less like going through package review again). However, it *would* be good to follow the latest Python binary package naming recommendations, which are to have 'python2-breathe' and 'python3- breathe' and use the python_provides macro so that right now the python2-breathe package will provide 'python-breathe', but that can potentially change in future (that's what the macro is meant to take care of). The example spec in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python is really what all python specs should look like, ideally. The only wrinkle is if you want to build your package for EPEL, especially EPEL 6; a lot of the recommended macros don't exist there so you will either have to maintain that branch separately in git, or have a bunch of conditionals in the spec to handle the missing macros for EPEL 6. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
