Hi,
I have had issues with batti for quite a while, and I came across battray as a replacement (and it works). So, I was trying to put it together as a rpm and perhaps and get it approved for Fedora.
I have created the following spec file available here:
https://paste.fedoraproject.org/442597/50173214
It compiles without error. However, when I try to install the rpm using
$sudo dnf install ../RPMS/noarch/battray-2.2-1.fc24.noarch.rpm
I get:
Last metadata expiration check: 0:15:05 ago on Mon Oct 3 08:21:04 2016. Error: nothing provides /bin/python3 needed by battray-2.2-1.fc24.noarch (try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages)
The addition of '--allowerasing' does not change anything other than to remove the suggestion.
Any suggestions as to what is wrong with my spec file?
Try: %install %{_python3} setup.py install --prefix=%{_prefix} --root=%{buildroot}
%{_python3} expands to /usr/bin/python3; I think on your system python3 in "python3 setup.py...." resolves to /bin/python3 which explains the wrong requires added to the package.
Try examining your $PATH env var, maybe /bin/ is precedes /usr/bin/ on your system?
