Jan,
I worry about compatibility between what's out there and newly built packages.
Is that going to break factory snapshots because they that have the old location vs. new packages having the new location?
Our python packages will not be affected because they are already handling the non-default behavior and specifying "--prefix=/usr". Their install paths will not change. Some faulty 3rd party packages could be installing into /usr/local now (not in OBS, i think, there's a check for that) and would install into /usr when rebuilt with the new python. If some script was explicitly checking for files in /usr/local, that would fail, but i believe this scenario is far-fetched. Python will still be looking for modules in both locations.
What about existing deployed releases that want to get a new python module. Will it be compatible?
Yes. regards m.
Greg
