Was this package rename discussed anywhere?
I don't think it makes any sense. It's not a python package, as the
name python2-boost would suggest.
Hi,
yes, it was discussed on fedora-devel@ and python@ for a few weeks.
An announcement was sent to fedora-announce@.
It installs a shared library, libboost_python2.so, which is a library
of C++ symbols that implement the Boost.Python C++ library.
Why is "python2-boost" a better name for this than "boost-python2"?
That's what the packaging guidelines require for python packages.
But he's trying to point out that this *isn't* a python library package.
Exactly.
Of course, I understand the other side of the coin - this was done by
your script which made some assumptions about which packages are
python packages, so it's understandable that there were some false
positives.
Sure, that's understandable. I'll revert the change then.
