Probably the easiest thing to do is to put it in redhat-rpm-config for now[1] and then go from there. If anyone disagrees with it, raise your hands... otherwise, I'll get it in the start of next week Jeremy [1] Basically, we'll change the macros to call a brp-python-post in redhat-rpm-config. That script will call the one in stock rpm as well as do the hardlink steps. -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
