The “simple” idea is fine for optimizing I/O to an external helper. However, with an embedded python interpreter in rpm, one has all the persistence needed to generate python (or perl or tcl or java or …) dependencies of each file without having to “batch”. (aside) But any rpmdep optimization is mostly overkill, the per-interpreter dependencies (perl perhaps the one exception) are rather primitive and hardly need to be generated for every file every build with current packaging. Sure one can conceive of a single python build that generates modules and dependencies for every possibly deployed interpreter version in a single build, just that is a rather hard package to construct and maintain … I’ve not personally seen a serious attempt to do that yet. > and with rpm4.5 the python dep genreator just compared pythonX.Y version to > do print "python(abi) %s" print > that was "optimized" by providing PY_VER as env var. > IIRC, something like python(abi) is still mostly what is being distributed with rpm helper scripts (though perhaps some distro has extended the helpers to do something more useful). 73 de Jeff > -- > glen > > _______________________________________________ > pld-devel-en mailing list > pld-devel-en@lists.pld-linux.org > http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list pld-devel-en@lists.pld-linux.org http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
