New submission from Nick Coghlan: In resolving 14443 we effectively embedded the vendor macros in the SPEC file generated by bdist_rpm on older versions of RHEL (and derivatives).
While I think that's a necessary evil (in order to create Python 3 RPMs that actually work properly at all on those platforms), we should note the distro limitation somewhere in the documentation: even if the RPM would otherwise work properly on Fedora *and* RHEL (and perhaps even openSUSE), the embedded copy of the vendor post install macros may misfire. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 172938 nosy: dmalcolm, docs@python, ncoghlan priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: bdist_rpm SPEC files created with distutils may be distro specific type: enhancement versions: Python 3.2, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16237> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
