Hey,
since the plan is to have some python3-... packages in RHEL proper, should we
adapt the %python_provide macro to provide python3-... when it gets python36-...?
%{python_provide python36-foo} currently does nothing.
I propose to change it to do: Provides: python3-foo = %{version}-%{release}.
Note: %{python_provide python2-foo} currently adds obsoletes, let's not add them
for the python36 case (there is nothing to obsolete here, quite the opossite -
python3-foo from RHEL would in theory obsolete python36-foo from EPEL).
Arguably, this discussion should have happened before we did the mass rebuild
for 3.4 -> 3.6 transition, however I don't consider such provides essential. The
idea is to change the macro, but don't mass rebuild - instead start providing
the provides gradually.
Note that not all EPEL7 Python 3 packages use this macro, but many do.
A PR is here:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-rpm-macros/pull-request/18
I'd appreciate feedback from EPEL packagers.
