You can make a subcommand that, for example, will install everything except the gXlib files. To be used for example like this: % setup.py install-without-python-xlib I'm not an expert python programmer, but if the author doesn't have time to make it (or doesn't want to?), i can give it a shot and create a patch. 2) install everything as normal and then rm -rf the gXlib dir. And rpmlint will most likely complain about using dangerous commands. 3) ask the author if he can pretty-please drop python-xlib and have the INSTALL file point to the download link from where they can download the dependency and install it themselves. Although IMO option 3 would be the best way package-wise, i doubt it would go well with the entire Fedora 'motto' which includes freedom. For the developers to create the application the way they want to (why should upstream adjust a perfectly good working application just because we can't package it nicely?). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
