I don't have any objection to moving `/usr/bin/python` into a separate package, but only if it's installed every time python2 is installed. I'm less concerned about breaking Fedora packages, because we have ways of checking and fixing those (do your package fail to build? Better fix it!) My concern is all of the user scripts and other non-Fedora-repo packages that might break if `/usr/bin/python` is no longer there. Users will blame Fedora, regardless of whether it's our "fault".
And so if the python symlink is a separate package that always gets installed alongside python2, then is there really any benefit to this change? Users are already going to have a lot of things that stop working when python2 goes away, so this seems like we're creating a second breakage unnecessarily. (One could argue that breaking things now gives people more awareness of what relies on python2 so that they have time to port to python3. I'm not sure how realistic that scenario actually is.) _______________________________________________ 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/WE2TSNKQIS5C4KSUSC4DBYIKWNGFGGZU/
