Thanks. I have too followed same thing for some of my packages
recently. Here what I want is, is this written somewhere? Just to give
reference to package submitter if he want some official source during
package review.
I can't find such explanation in python packaging guidelines wiki page
and also not in
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Addon_Packages_.28python3_modules.29
page.
Can some one if possible add this naming information there? Or do I
need to file a ticket on fpc for this?
Regards,
Parag.
