Hi,

how would I handle a -doc subpackage with the new singlespec approach? I guess we want the -doc package only once (it doesn't depend on the python interpreter version).

this is ... debatable. It *can* depend on interpreter version. But in general I support only supplying one -doc per one package. To accomplish this technically, just call it "%package -n %{name}-doc". The generator skips subpackages with "-n". Another question is of naming. If you do it literally like this, then you get python2-foo, python3-foo, and python-foo-doc. Maybe the -doc subpackage should Provide python2-foo-doc and python3-foo-doc? Maybe it should even install symlinks in /usr/share/doc/packages? I don't have answers to these questions o_O Are there doc package guidelines from which we could get inspiration? m.

I looked at the current specs and eg. python-six has a extra .spec file for building the doc package. I would prefer to build the -doc as subpackage while building the main packages.

Best,

Tom
