I'm not anti changing the default, but the first thing that needs to happen is to establish a openSUSE packaging guideline as to when to use /usr/bin/python, /usr/bin/python2 or /usr/bin/python3. Then, a way to inform rpmlint (I assume) should be established for use when the maintainer claims the package is compatible with both python2 and python3. Then rpmlint (I assume) should be updated to complain about /usr/bin/python uses that have not been tagged as appropriate by the maintainer. And last by not least, a method to scan factory for rpmlint complaints and send off emails to the maintainer should be implemented. For now, I have 50+ packages I maintain that likely use /usr/bin/python and I have no idea if they are python3 compatible. I have a bunch of testing to do. But if they are, I currently have no way to inform the community (or myself) that I've tested them and they are fine as is. Thanks Greg -- Greg Freemyer Advances are made by answering questions.
