Dear Python packagers,
This leaves us with a pressing task:
- If upstream does not support python 3.6 anymore (Numpy already deprecates to support it in new releases, according to NEP 29 [5]) you can use `%define skip_python36 1`. All depending packages need to do the same. Alternatively a branched package can provide an older version for this flavor, e.g. python-ipython715 has been created to provide the last version which support Python 3.6.
do we have the ability to do something like `%define skip_python_legacy 1` or `%define skip_python_non_default 1`, I can think of use cases such as bindings for graphical toolkits where it doesn't make sense to support multiple python versions and having to go through and explicitly disable things every time something changes will get painful. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
