Hello,
In python-pillow (the python imaging fork which replaced PIL in F19+),
there is a module (ImageQt) which requires PyQt4, but that dependency is
missing in python-pillow (and in python-imaging before). I don't really
like adding PyQt4 as a dependency to the main package, since it pulls in
lots of stuff. So, I'd go for creating a python-pillow-qt subpackage
(albeit with just one file), and now am wondering about the upgrade
path. From what I can see, there is just one package which uses the
ImageQt module (pony, which actually looks to be rather unmaintained).
Question: What is the best way to proceed?
make python-pillow-qt include
Obsoletes: python-pillow < #last_EVR_before_qt_subpkg_existed#
Requires: python-pillow = %{version}-%{release}
Thanks
Upon further reflection... Turns out in this case that was not entirely
good advice. I'd erroneously assumed there was qt support in the package
prior to this.
Since that PyQt4 support is new, what ends up happening is that users with
the older python-pillow installed, will now get python-pillow *and* python-
pillow-qt (and PyQt4 stack along with it).
Unless, that is what you want by design?

So, the problem is that the pony package uses the ImageQt module, so I
recon the chosen approach is the only way that does not break pony until
pony requires python-pillow-qt? I opened a bug for that [1], but so far
there has been no activity. But I'm certainly happy if there was a
cleaner way to proceed.
Thanks,
Sandro
