Some time ago, FPC has accepted a change that says, that packages with "py" in name should be prefixed with "python-" anyway [1]. Since this only applies to newly created packages, we will have to cope with this, unfortunately. So my idea of handling this would be: > - all packages must have Provides: python-* > - packages that weren't prefixed with "python-" previously (pyserial, PyYAML), should also carry an explicit Provides/Obsoletes for the old name. > Sounds good? > I would remove that first bullet point. The point of the Provides and Obsoletes is to provide backwards compatibility. If there's no previous python-* there's no need to take up that name in the namespace. > > Other thing: > > > > What about apps?
