From looking at package rebuilds I do remember seeing changing python triggering all -python packages to be rebuilt (when ideally when just shipping .py files no build would be involved).
Why would we prefer every user compiling over us building once? If the pyc files are not compatible with all python versions, we need to have a require on the python abi - so we know when to rebuild.
Sure. Just as was mentioned if we ship .pyc why do we ship .py files? Eventually it's about choice but then we can as well split packages into python-X-py and python-X-pyc both providing python-X (or some other way).
Then why stop at python? Possibly we should make a choice if people want to download binaries or compile their C code themselves? I'm sure you will find other distributions as reference :) Greetings, Stephan -- Ma muaß weiterkämpfen, kämpfen bis zum Umfalln, a wenn die ganze Welt an Arsch offen hat, oder grad deswegn. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
