For packages with files and for Fedora 33+, the %python_provide call
can be
removed. For packages without files or on Fedora 32 or on EPEL 7/8
they should
be replaced with %py_provides (although not worth doing it in mass).
This is
documented at
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Python/#_the_py...
Thank you for clarifications , I read #_the_py_provides_macro before
writing this email :)
And I would change wiki to this sentence ... , IMO is more clear .
The %ldconfig_scriptlets macro can be removed on all Fedoras.
Possibly also on
EPEL 8. But it is required on EPEL 7.
OK, as I suggest, I think we should have a page dedicate to what is not
need anymore .

The guidelines are for Fedora, not EPEL. If you want, you can
create/update a
page in the EPEL guidelines, those are free-to-edit wiki:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL:Packaging#Scriptlets
Is not about an epel 7 specific , is about how maintain a package since
epel 7 to rawhide .
Thank you.
