The proposal moves the /usr/bin/python symlink to a separate package. If your package really needs it at build or runtime, you would need to manually add the appropriate BuildRequires: or Requires: (unless of course rpm auto-adds one). I guess the point is two-fold: Packagers have to go through an extra step when they don't comply with the existing packaging guidelines,, and it is now easier to see what actually calls "/usr/bin/python" in contravention of the packaging guidelines. The underlying fact is the same: if /usr/bin/python is missing, your packages currently must still build. If they don't they're already not meeting the requirements. If they do then, well, this change would have no effect on you. The problem I see is that this new package is nearly always going to have to be installed on any running system because end users rightfully expect /usr/bin/python to be there. So I expect the only good coming from this would be the ease in finding packages which require /usr/bin/python in order to build. That seems sufficiently positive to me. - J< _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/WSX7WUWBTPI4QWHQLVUFBDSRCKSOR6RV/
