It's going to be a while before EPEL gets all of the "python36"
labeled packages rebuilt to say "Provides: python3-module" as well as
"Provides: python36-module" for complete consistency with the altered
name used by RHEL. The epel-rpm-macros package sets the python modules
to set "python3_pkgversion" to be "36" instead of plain "3", and helps
find and resolve the python dependencies from the slightly older EPEL
versions. It also helps distinguish new built modules as being EPEL
based instead of merely RHEL or CentOS based.
How does epel-rpm-macros package sets the python modules to do that?
What kind of sorcery is there? AFAIk it is the %python_provide macro defined in
python-rpm-macors (required by python3-devel).
I'm not happy that RHEL upstream selected to use "python3" instead of
"python36" as the package name for their release of Python 3.6. Like
modularity, it's solving one problem but generating others.
All RHEL python3 packages also provide their python36 names. Where is the
problem? If there is some, how can we fix it?
