Dear fellow Fedora developers,
I plan to execute part 2 of the renaming. First part was announced and
discussed here [1]. Recently, Iryna Shcherbina announced [2] plans for
a follow up: changing the requirements. Before that happens I want to
finish my renaming. In this round my changes are rather small, only
~80 packages, see the lists below. There's various packages which either
are not on the porting-db list [3], or are particularly complicated [4],
or have been fixed in git but don't build, all of which I'm ignoring
for now.
Short description:
binary Python2 subpackages with a name starting with "python-" or
ending with "-python" will be renamed to "python2-…". Provides/Obsoletes
for the old name are of course added, so upgrades should work and other
packages using the old names do not need to be adjusted.
In the first round, packages which had Requires/Provides under
conditionals were skipped. In this round the renamer script [5] was
improved to support such cases.
Timeline:
If nothing pops up, I'll push the changes and to the rebuilds on Friday.
This timeline is a bit concerning. Friday marks the start of the lowest maintainer activity each year. A huge subset of the Fedora community goes away to enjoy their winter holidays.
I think pushing a mass-packaging change on this schedule would be a really bad idea. It *will* result in breakage. I'd suggest postponing the change until January 2nd.
