Why do you think the patches aren't upstreamable?
Because the change would be unsystematic - to do this "properly", parts of distutils would have to be redesigned and that's out of scope of any of our bugs ;e) The patch would be implementing a special behavior in order to conform to FHS, introducing possible compatibility problems (modules confused about their whereabouts), when all the while Python itself hits a couple of FHS gray areas anyway.
Actual solution might be to cooperate with Debian on their "dist-packages" thing and try to upstream that.
Why couldn't the patch merely implement a more flexible way to handle prefixes, and then we override the default in our packages? -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
