I haven't done a detailed check of how many packages have this issue, but amongst the admittedly small number of packages I have looked at all of them have it.
Let me save you some trouble: libs don't have the issue. As per package naming convention, that means most (if not all) of the packages beginning with "python-". Of those that aren't libs, many don't need support for both python versions. mercurial for example. Any version you pick is OK, since it's just a standalone app. You'd only need both versions if they expose a programmatic API other packages depend on (like with sip and cxfreeze). I believe the number of packages won't be that huge. Notice that you could easily build a macro for that rename, since it means renaming all the binaries installed in %{_bindir}. So the change isn't that "personalized" for each package. And if you decide to use a subdirectory within bindir that's even easier, since a macro can create the symlinks with one bash command. So it *can* be made to scale. It only requires a bit of thought and prevision. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
