| Summary: | 0004091: Change the dependency from CSWpython-rt to CSWpython | ||||
| Description: |
Executive summary: CSWpython-rt is deprecated, please re-point your dependencies at CSWpython. |
||||
| Steps To Reproduce: | |||||
| Additional Information: |
The upcoming release of Python (2.6.4) has a change related to packaging. The CSWpython-rt package is now an empty, deprecated package. It used to contain shared objects from Python. It was a confusing package, because it made the impression that it's enough for other Python-dependent packages to only depend on CSWpython-rt. In fact, in all the cases, the whole Python package is necessary. It was necessary to declare dependencies to both CSWpython and CSWpython-rt, even though CSWpython required CSWpython-rt, so there was redundancy involved. In python-2.6.4, all the shared objects are in the CSWpython package. Bugs will be filed against all the dependent projects to remove the dependency on CSWpython-rt. When all the dependencies are removed, the -rt package will be removed too. If there is a package which does depend on CSWpython-rt but doesn't depend on CSWpython, it can get into trouble if CSWpython happens to be uninstalled. The potentially affected packages are: pymysql pysqlite ooocore trac silvercity pysqlite2 genshi graphvizpython |
