New submission from Vitaly Isaev: RPM Subpackages are very useful when you maintain the big project on the RHEL-kind Linux distro and you need to sparse the project into several differing packages (for instance - <main_package>, -libs, -devel, -debuginfo).
It would be convenient to do the same in a purely Pythonic projects (i mean to place something in setup.py and to obtain the output spec-file with a corresponding number of `%package <subpackage_name>` sections). I didn't manage to find the code that matches these purposes in the most up-to-date release of the distutils (/usr/lib64/python2.7/distutils/command/bdist_rpm.py). So I would ask to implement this feature. Also I can try to do it on my own in case if the community considers it as a good offer. Thank you. ---------- components: Distutils messages: 218119 nosy: dstufft, eric.araujo, vitalyisaev2 priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Support of RPM subpackages in distutils type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21453> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
