Why would that matter? It certainly doesn't make any different to the end-user how the package was created. What if I put the bindings inside libmtag, as I actually have been thinking on doing, would I be entitled to name the package libmtag-python then? I don't think that makes sense. Plus, it's actually not the case on xapian-bindings, thunarx-python, and even gstreamer-python (which is actually mentioned as an example) (and probably others). > > If I go to the cached page I even see these as examples: > > * gstreamer-python > > * gnome-python2 > > * rpm-python My feeling is that this is not a strong requirement, if it was, there should be a bug report to rename packages such as gstreamer-python, and it should be take out of the examples. And if there is indeed such a rule that in-package bindings can be named $NAME-python, it should be mentioned in the documentation. More likely, these packages have to be renamed as well. -- 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
