tl;dr: different packages own /usr/lib/pythonX/site-packages/tests and different files with the same name inside that directory. Hi all, I was going through a package review and realized the package under review owns /usr/lib/pythonX/site-packages/tests and some files inside the directory. since there were no subdirectories and there were no namespaces for the file names inside the directory, I went further and realized that the following packages are doing the same: python3-custodia-0:0.1.0-3.fc24.noarch python3-django-federated-login-0:1.0.0-9.fc24.noarch python3-journal-brief-0:1.1.3-3.fc24.noarch python3-oauth2-0:1.9.0-2.post1.fc24.noarch python3-repoze-who-plugins-sa-0:1.0.1-10.20160106gite1a36c5.fc24.noarch python-custodia-0:0.1.0-3.fc24.noarch python-django-federated-login-0:1.0.0-9.fc24.noarch python-libturpial-0:1.7.0-4.fc24.noarch python-repoze-who-plugins-sa-0:1.0.1-10.20160106gite1a36c5.fc24.noarch what's the problem with that? Well what if we would have a package named python-tests? shouldn't it own that directory? Also, since there are no namespaces inside that directory for each package owning files in there, they could end up owning different files with the same name. Actually, the following packages own /usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/tests/__init__.py python3-custodia-0:0.1.0-3.fc24.noarch python3-django-federated-login-0:1.0.0-9.fc24.noarch python3-oauth2-0:1.9.0-2.post1.fc24.noarch python3-repoze-who-plugins-sa-0:1.0.1-10.20160106gite1a36c5.fc24.noarch or /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tests/__init__.py python-custodia-0:0.1.0-3.fc24.noarch python-django-federated-login-0:1.0.0-9.fc24.noarch python-libturpial-0:1.7.0-4.fc24.noarch python-repoze-who-plugins-sa-0:1.0.1-10.20160106gite1a36c5.fc24.noarch Is that all really a problem or am I missing something in the guidelines? -- Athos Ribeiro http://www.ime.usp.br/~athoscr _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
