Hello Pythonistas.
tl;dr The python(abi) Requires are currently only generated for .py or .so
files. I think that restriction is not useful and would like to drop it.
I opened
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-rpm-generators/pull-request/80 in
response to
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-coverage_pth/blob/0401cae6/f/python-coverage_pth.spec#_30
It extends the generated python(abi) Requires for any (all?) files in pythonX.Y
directory regardless of their extension or type.
It does not matter if the package installs .py, .so or different files.
Packages that simply drop a .pth file to site-packages or even only carry
dist-info folder still need to Require the package that owns
/usr/lib(64)/pythonX.Y.
Since the PR was opened couple months ago and received no feedback, I decided
to share it here as well. WDYT?
I'm sure you explained it concisely and I'm simply not getting it.
Or perhaps I did not :D
But can you give an example of before vs after? I can't tell whether the
proposal is about *which packages* get those automatic requires, or
*what requires* get generated, or both. An example may help at least me.
Thanks!
Before:
Package installs (only):
/usr/lib/python3.15/site-packages/coverage_pth-0.0.2.dist-info
/usr/lib/python3.15/site-packages/coverage_pth.pth
It does not get automatic python(abi) = 3.15 Requires because nothing in
site-packages is a .py or .so file.
After:
It gets automatic python(abi) = 3.15 Requires because packages should require
directory owners.
