Removing python-setuptools-devel backwards compat - devel - Fedora mailing-lists

4 Nov 2013


      In November of 2009, in time for Fedora 13, we solved a packaging issue in
the main python package that allowed us to remove a split in our
python-setuptools package.  Instead of needing a separate
python-setuptools-devel subpackage for easy_install the python-setuptools
package could now contain all of the functionality of python-setuptools.
To ease with package migration we added an Obsoletes and Provides tag to the
python-setuptools package at that time so that packages, kickstarts, etc
which required python-setuptools-devel would not break.
Fast forward to the present day:
It's November of 2013.  Rawhide is Fedora 21.  I'd like to drop the
backwards compatibility Provides (and Obsoletes) from the python-setuptools
package.  However, there are currently 166 packages BuildRequire'ing
python-setuptools-devel.  If owners would care to fix them before I remove
the backwards compatibility there shouldn't be any surprises in mass
rebuilds or late-night package updates later.  The changes are easy enough
that provenpackagers could step in if owners don't update.
Changes are simply:
-BuildRequires: python-setuptools-devel
+BuildRequires: python-setuptools
(Same for Requires: lines but AFAICT I fixed the last of those today)
