The issue is with the package name, i.e., CSWpy-django-auth-ldap, which is longer that the current, arbitrary, limit on package names. Using the override is an useful kludge but not a definitive/final solution. As we discussed earlier, we must relive all arbitrary limits an conform to the reality of the underlying package system. However, as so often, that discussion was drown in noise and the status quo is maintained for a dubious aesthetic consideration. -- Peter _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers .:: This mailing list's archive is public. ::.
