I would like some advice on this bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2036438
There are a number of packages with names of the form
python-sphinxcontrib-foo, which install their files into
%{python3_sitelib}/sphinxcontrib/foo/. The issue is that at least two
of these, python-sphinxcontrib-asyncio and
python-sphinxcontrib-zopeext, install a file named
%{python3_sitelib}/sphinxcontrib/__init__.py, and the files are not
identical.
Any thoughts on how this should be dealt with are welcome. I
suggested in the bug that we could introduce a package named simply
python-sphinxcontrib that owns both the sphinxcontrib directory and
the __init__.py file. The other python-sphinxcontrib-* packages would
depend on it, and would not install any such __init__.py file. There
is no such upstream package; this would be a Fedora construct simply
to deal with the file collision. Perhaps we could even make that a
subpackage of python-sphinx.
Other ideas are welcome, especially if they mean less work for me. :-)
