FTR: In Debian we already have --install-layout=deb: https://sources.debian.net/src/python-setuptools/28.7.1-1/debian/patches/install-layout.diff/ https://sources.debian.net/src/python3.5/3.5.2-8/debian/patches/distutils-install-layout.diff/ https://sources.debian.net/src/python2.7/2.7.13~rc1-1/debian/patches/distutils-install-layout.diff/ (it also removes Python version from Egg directories and installs into dist-packages rather than site-packages) See also https://wiki.debian.org/Python#Deviations_from_upstream -- Piotr Ożarowski Debian GNU/Linux Developer www.ozarowski.pl www.griffith.cc www.debian.org GPG Fingerprint: 1D2F A898 58DA AF62 1786 2DF7 AEF6 F1A2 A745 7645 _______________________________________________ python-devel mailing list -- python-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
