I have to disagree with you here. Ideally, we should just have one package, python-django, that would be the latest upstream. If that is undoable, let's also provide older packages as python-django14 etc. But we should still keep the newest Django (whichever version that is) in Fedora named python-django.
So my proposal:
- Don't introduce Django 1.5 in Fedora 19, the freeze is too close and breakages too many.
- Right after branching, push Django 1.5 (package python-django) to new rawhide (future Fedora 20) with python3-django subpackage.
- Work with upstreams to get dependent packages fixed before Fedora 20 freeze.
- If some packages fail to be compatible with Django 1.5 before Fedora 20 freeze, just introduce python-django14 package and let them use that.
