I have a related question, actually. We're splitting a package
out of the main 'sssd' package so that the pure-python config API
lives in a noarch package instead of the main (arch-full)
package.
If that "pure python config API" is a python module, then a
python- prefix is the way to go.
Though... it may also help frame the answer if you could describe
the purpose of making the subpkg in the first place?
See https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/1839
- From my comments in the patch review thread:
Rel-eng was complaining that we had python modules contained in an
arch-specific package that were being put on disk in a noarch
location. Rel-eng made the incorrect assumption that this meant that
the modules were actually arch-specific, which they are not;
SSSDConfig is pure-python and safely noarch.
The correct solution to this is for us to add a python-sssdconfig
noarch subpackage and Requires: it from the 'sssd' package (for
backwards compatibility).
I'm not sure I would agree with the original assertion or this "correct
solution" conclusion. At least, it's not supported by our packaging
guidelines anywhere that I'm aware of. (or is it?)
