Taking a step back to look at a broader picture, what is determined here might be helpful when migrating other packages such as : perl6 php6 java2 ( or whatever Sunacle calls it officially ) ruby2 Although none of those are as central to the operation of Fedora as python, they all will suffer migration pains, and likely will require some type of parallel install of old and new versions, as well as migration of requires and provides. perl 6 is in F12 as I recall, under a pseudonym. Keeping python2 around ( and perl5, etc. ) named that way and not moving to compat-python2 or compat-perl5 may not be a bad thing. Using compat-* as a naming convention does signal " don't use this unless you have to " however is it really required ? I know, it may be too early to think about when python2 moves to a compat-* status, but as slowly as the migration to python3 is going, there may be a need for parallel installs of python2, python3, and python4. I know, ick, but possible. It might be best to keep the major version number as part of the package name(s) permanent. -- Charles Dostale -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
