Hello all,
We will have to split a bit the d:l:py due to its monstrous size (2700 packages) where we are unable to verify the stack actually kinda works before Tumbleweed integration.
We will split it based on common purpose and use d:l:py as base:
devel:languages:python:django devel:languages:python:azure devel:languages:python:aws ...
If you happen to have some packages or interest in python modules and think of some connection between couple of them please drop me an email for subproject creation and I will happily create it for you and set it up for TW integration.
As a bit additional tweak I would move all of the non-Tumbleweed integrated stuff in to different project. At this moment it is full of various linked packages and things that were only added to develprj without being submitted to Tumbleweed. This prompted people to add this project on their released openSUSE versions (leading to quite interestingly broken systems if they do zypper dup with vendor change)...
The change will be done by creating special project d:l:py:misc that would have building enabled but publishing disabled. This will hopefully motivate people to properly integrate the packages while not losing all the work that was done on them so far.
Cheers
Tom

Along with this change I think it would be worth updating the the python packaging guidelines to suggest that applications be they cli or desktop not also providing core libraries should go into the appropriate devel project whether its X11:common, networking etc. unless there is a good reason to keep them in d:l:p (for existing apps this maybe a slow gradual change). -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
