No. When you create these packages, _you_ need to ensure that they don't include conflicting files. How do those __init__.py files differ in those multiple packages? Is it only a matter of different versions of the backports module? Remember, you've got full control over the package %{buildroot} at build-time, so you could delete files you don't want and which are included in a separate (shared!) package already. > There are a number of packages which would want to live under the > backports/ module. That's okay, but it's not okay if they all contain a differing backports/__init__.py file. -- Fedora release 19 (Schrödinger’s Cat) - Linux 3.9.8-300.fc19.x86_64 loadavg: 0.08 0.05 0.05 -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging
