This same issue/question came up in my review for mod_python26: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=638362 Originally I had an explicit 'Conflicts: mod_python' which was inherited from the package in IUS (based on IUS policy). The packages conflict because they both provide python_module. As noted in the ticket... even if mod_python26 was patched to work side-by-side with mod_python... all of the Apache directives provided by python_module and/or python26_module would still conflict.... meaning they can't be installed and run simultaneously. The options seem to be: * Make the package explicitly conflict * Add an IfModule check for python_module, and if it isn't already loaded then load from mod_python26 To me, the first option is very clear and makes sense. From a users perspective... if they install mod_python26 while mod_python is installed... they may be a bit confused as to why mod_python26 just "doesn't work". Would be helpful to get some more feedback from the list on which approach to take. The IfModule approach is fine as long as /etc/httpd/conf.d/python26.conf is commented clearly.. and assuming the end users reads the comments in the file. --- derks _______________________________________________ epel-devel-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/epel-devel-list
