I tried doing this in the spec file. But it never worked because the spec file looks for that something else then.

The %{name} macro takes the value from the Name: field in the spec file. If I recall correctly, Fedora packaging guidelines says the package name should be something like python-stapler. > > If you submit it, please post the BZ id here, I would like to follow it. > > In the meantime, could you point me to the home page?

As an author and user of software, I feel that it is useful to have clearly defined names. (Besides, the name "stapler" does not quite do justice to the full capabilities of the software.) Anyway, he said he would if I came up with a good name so I suggested a bunch, but he never responded after that. Hmm, are you sure? The readme in the repo explicitly states that it is a fork of the version written by Philip Stark, and this one is written by Fred Wenzel. Philip Stark decided to look for an alternative and found pypdf, a PDF library written in pure Python. He couldn't find a tool which actually used the library, so he started writing his own. This version of stapler is Fred Wenzel's fork of the project, with a completely refactored source code, tests, and added functionality. > Btw, you will need PyPDF2 for which I have a working rpm (again a personal copy, no naming issues there) which I can provide to you. > > How do I submit this PyPDF2 to BZ?
