While /usr/bin/python points to /usr/bin/python2 and python-foo provides python2 version of the foo package I would expect binary foo to run on python2. This applies for modules binaries such as pytest (nosetests, pip, ...) where is difference between running python2 and python3 version of the binary. Currently we should have non versioned binaries to run on python3 only for python applications (devassistant) where both python2 and python3 version of the application provide same functionality. Therefore I suggest to switch order of pyX_install macros. > > The appendix: > * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python_Appendix > > The old guidelines: > * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python_Old > > Note that these cleaned up pages (and the old copy) include some > new guidelines as well: > > There is new section indicating that -OO must not be used for python > versions less than 3.5. > * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python#Optimization > > There are requirements for what python module packages must provide > (via Provides:): > * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python#Provides > > Related FPC tickets: > * https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/281 > * https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/534 > * https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/542 > * https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/545 > * https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/552 > > > ----- > > Guidelines have been added covering services which need to perform setup > when they are first started (including self-signed certificate > generation). > > *https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Initial_Service_Setup > *https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/506 > > ----- > > The guideline on spec file naming was moved into the main guidelines and > now requires that its name be constructed by taking the name of the > source package and appending ".spec". > > * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Spec_File_Naming > * https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/553 > > ----- > > FPC can now grant exceptions to the regular package review procedures. > > * > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging_Committee#Review_Process_Exemption_Procedure > * https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/539 > * https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1435 > _______________________________________________ > devel-announce mailing list > devel-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel-announce -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
