I agree with that, but that is not the case for a tarball from PyPi containing a '%{pypi_name}.egg-info'-folder. This is about pre-built, specificly to the a certain Python-version (and in most cases operating system and binary-arch), '%{pypi_name}-%{version}.egg'-files distributed on PyPi… > In Fedora, all packages must be rebuilt from source.

Here the guideline distinguishes between a pre-built *.egg-file and egg-metadata (*.egg-info-folder). I cannot find anything saying it is required to remove the egg-metadata (.egg-info) before building the sources; it isn't even mentioned in the common sample spec-file [1]… [1] https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Packaging:Python#Examp le_common_spec_file _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
