Hi, We will probably need to rebuild the python-* packages again and I already hate that. Such python-django takes 45 minutes to build and most of that is in the auto-dependency generator. That is insane! It should not take that long!
/usr/lib/rpm/pythoneggs.py is used to find the dependencies and it is not that slow by itself… but it is called twice (Provides + Requires) for each file in /usr/share/pythonX.Y. And big Python packages have lots of files there. Most of them not adding any extra dependency information. That is strange, as the dependency helpers accept list of file names on their stdout… and RPM (in lib/rpmfc.c) always feeds them with one filename only. Why is that? I can even see a buffer for a file list in the code (iob_python in the rpmfc_s struct), but it seems not used. I tried to invent some smart hack to limit number of files examined – usually checking a single *.py file and the *.egg-info/PKG-INFO should be enough, but I was not able to inject this in the weird rpmfc logic. And I do not quite understand what it is supposed to do (what are those 'colors' and what files should be python-colored). Can this be fixed somehow? How have we ended with this?
