They tend to use pyzmq or even python-pyzmq. Currently, the naming guideline for python modules is ambiguous and already cause a lot of inconsistency in fedora repo. FYI, currently three naming scheme are used in fedora: [1]python-[tarball_name] Packages of python modules (thus they rely on python as a parent) use a slightly different naming scheme. They should take into account the upstream name of the python module. This makes a package name format of python-$NAME [2]python-[module_name] When in doubt, use the name of the module that you type to import it in a script. [3]tarball_name There is an exception to this rule. If the upstream source has "py" (or "Py") in its name, you can use that name for the package. So, for example, pygtk is acceptable. Personally, I like most python-modules should use python-[module_name], only a few packages should use python-[tarball_name](e.g. a tarball containing a lot of different namespace or the tarball_name is much more widely used than module_name), tarball_name should be completely forbidden. -- 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. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
