Hi,
I've noticed that some python3 packages I need are, in fact,
python3-only
and that some other cannot be unified at the moment, if ever.
Also with the expectation of a mass-conversion d:l:p3 has been a tad neglected lately, so I was wondering if the packages above could be rehomed to d:l:p.
Or perhaps it's too early?
The new python singlespec approach can support "python3-only" packages
and
therefore the package should be able to find a home in d:l:p. See https://en.opensuse.org/ openSUSE:Packaging_Python_Singlespec#Packages_for_single_Python_version for details
Last time I tried it didn't work. Also I refer to the "As of 2017-03-07, however, this is untested and probably broken." clause.
Has the problem been fixed, to your knowledge?
Many packages do work based on the singlespec recipes and this is merely a "disclaimer" because some packages for sure still don't yet fully work.
"Untested and probably broken" sounds like a somewhat strong disclaimer. In fact, I tried again a moment ago and couldn't make it work. Do you have a link to a working python3-only module packaged as singlespec?
not at hand, sorry

In any case, what to do about packages that can't be unified because they are developed elsewhere than d:l:p?
I don't see a reason why the singlespec approach can not be used just because the package is developed elsewhere also I can not answer that question.
If the maintainers of said devel project won't/can't support the singlespec approach for the time being, I'd say it's a problem.
So, in that case, would python3- packages be acceptable in d:l:p?
My simple guess would be 'no' because d:l:p has (or should have) the simple requirement to only accept new packages when they follow python singlespec. If there is no maintainer to support the single spec recipe, why should it be in d:l:p? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
