Package it separately if it: * Is listed on PyPI (.python.org) * Has value separate from the 'parent software' (on its own) * Users might want it without the parent software * Is pure python, OR * Doesn't otherwise explicitly require depend on the parent software >From the description above, given the dependencies of each of the software components are different (main software, python package), I'd go for separate packaging unless there's a good reason not to. > thanks, > Chris Inacio _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
