Is it possible to have the python3 package split from the start into a python3-base package that only contains a minimal python runtime? The goal would be to not require any further packages apart from what is already available in the base system (so _not_ sqlite, x11, etc.)?
Yes, that is possible. I will not do it now, but will put it on my todo list :e) Is the goal to have smallest possible python-base, like the guys at Mandriva (i think), or the smallest number of additional dependencies? I have nothing against splitting off dependencies, but i lean strongly towards keeping python "big", i.e. keep the standard library as intact as possible. Otherwise it will be tough to choose what stays and what goes.
Bonus points if you can split the .spec file so the python3-base package also builds without BuildRequires to such stuff.
I'm afraid that will be harder, unless you're ready to build python many times over just for the deps. But i'll see what i can do.
This would allow the use of python in the core of openSUSE without increasing the minimal installed size and the re-build time.
Ya, and of course we want that for python2 as well ...
;)
Sure thing, pal ;e) I was going to play with dependencies and subpackages and stuff anyway. But i can't guarantee any results.
Thanks, Richard.
