fedora-review prints this in the ‘Issues’ section of the report:
‘- Package contains BR: python2-devel or python3-devel’
This has happened on a couple of reviews I have done recently. There
is no other information given about what this means or why it's bad.
Both were Python packages and the Python package guidelines mention
that you *should* have BR: python2-devel / python3-devel
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python#BuildRequires)
So .. what does it mean?
https://pagure.io/FedoraReview/issue/273
(...) Message should say , IMHO, "do not use BR: python-devel use
instead BR: python2-devel or python3-devel " . It clarifies what is the
problem.
Fair enough, although in both of my cases ‘BR: python-devel’ was _not_
being used.
Yes that suggested text is no better really.
The test is checking that either python2-devel or python3-devel is being
required - it doesn't consider python-devel at all so mentioning that in
the message would be very misleading.
So it will error unless python2-devel or python3-devel is required but
the message is phrased in terms of what is expected rather than what is
actually present - so it's not saying the package contains X rather it
is saying the package should contain X (and doesn't).
