hello everyone,
both Python 2.6 and Python 3.0 final releases are scheduled on Sep 04 [1], and they are both going into openSUSE 11.1
Awesome. I was actually just today thinking about creating and playing with a python3 package. I'll just wait for yours instead.
No packages depending on python 2.x should be harmed by having py3k present. Also, there probably won't be any packages depending on py3k yet.
I would, of course, like to package a number of modules against it for my own use. I have a few of questions, though:
What about the module package naming convention? Should they be of the form 'python3-modulename'?
Yes. Unless somebody has a better idea, ofcourse. But i can't think of anything else that would make sense.
Will the python3 package include rpm macros, such as '%py3_sitedir'?
I didn't look into this yet. Probably not now, but we'll certainly add them later.
Will there be a 'devel:languages:python3' project, or should Python 3 packages be placed in 'devel:languages:python'? If the latter, should new python3-*
I'm placing python3 into devel:languages:python
packages be created, or should the existing packages be modified to generate both if %suse_version > 1100?
I don't think that it would make any sense. For one, if the rumors are true, then python2.x packages will need to be rewritten (automatically, but rewritten nevertheless) to work in python3. And for two, even if you managed to make one source work on both pythons, there's still the issue of dependency on python/python3, package name (python- vs. python3-) and all the little thingies. You would most likely end up with two unrelated specs for one package... and at that point you are better off with separate packages. regards m. - -- (if you have any comments, please CC me in the reply, otherwise my replies will break threads. that is a bug in my way of using the mailinglist, which is not yet fixed) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkhjvuMACgkQjBrWA+AvBr+juwCfaS9kJJnf56hIIWh0yBGgdoLv klkAn2Bs92Zu9J6+Q/zj3o4wsysyJDKq =Ktvw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
