Hi, Can we remove %ldconfig_scriptlets and %{?python_provide:%python_provide python3-%{srcname}} from the specs ?
For packages with files and for Fedora 33+, the %python_provide call can be removed. For packages without files or on Fedora 32 or on EPEL 7/8 they should be replaced with %py_provides (although not worth doing it in mass). This is documented at https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Python/#_the_py_provides_macro
The %ldconfig_scriptlets macro can be removed on all Fedoras. Possibly also on EPEL 8. But it is required on EPEL 7.
The new documentation of packaging guidelines is very cool [1], I'd like to suggest a section for scriptlets that can be removed fro spec files and documentation since when, also if, inform how to deal with epel 7 and 8 version, even better .
The guidelines are for Fedora, not EPEL. If you want, you can create/update a page in the EPEL guidelines, those are free-to-edit wiki:
