Fedora's Python version migration needs to be coordinated with RHEL.
Yes I know Fedora is independent of both Red Hat and RHEL but the real world
reality is spec files are shared between both. At the moment you cannot
easily share a spec file between the two, this leads to maintaining two
independent spec files for something that ought to be nearly identical and
increases the burden on package maintainers and increases the opportunity
for errors.
Aye, I agree we should be actively seeking to make single-spec
feasible across Fedora/RHEL/CentOS, at least in combination with EPEL
(without the EPEL dependency, it's hard to consistently make new
Fedora level macro definitions available to older EL releases).
Cheers,
Nick.
