We have an interesting request for python3-rpm-macros to depend on python3.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1563789
Highlights:
- users who build for Python 3 are told (in the guidelines) to BR python3-devel (that brings in both python3 and python3-rpm-macros) - the existence of python3-rpm-macros is left as an implementation detail for ^ - in theory, those macros can be used with other Pythons (such as pypy3 or python36, that is most likely not done in practice)
Arguments:
- to require: the macros are broken without a python3 interpreter - to not: the macros should work with any python3 interpreter
Solutions?
- declare direct BR of macros without a python3 interpreter unsupported - add dependency on python3. unused if used with another interpreter - add a common virtual provide for all python3 interpreters or require (python3 or pypy3 or python36...) - very tedious
