Quite radical! : )
I kind of like the idea, but maybe makes more sense after the default Python version installed in Factory is only Python 3. After that, we can make Factory an only Python 3 distribution, removing packages like in your proposal.
Thanks, Alberto Planas
Sure, but not before a long time so ! Cause a lot of packages still doesn't support py3. And because we don't have final specifications for unified specfile.
For this Jan was quite busy with other tasks, so he will now start working in this direction. (And it is the actual reason for his mail to -factory, to show that the things start moving :)) So I would recommend first finishing up unified spec idea and then deciding how to reduce it on Factory. Also funny part will be to ensure the unified specs to work on SLE11 if someone is interested, as it will probably need quite backports of macro declarations/etc. Cheers Tom
