| Summary | 0003967: Missing distutils | ||||||
| Description |
The GAR Makefile refers to distutils as a separate package, but it isn't there in the catalog. The main Python package doesn't contain distutils, so the end result is that there's no way for our users to install distutils from OpenCSW. I would suggest including distutils in the main Python package, because the cost of splitting it (human frustration) is higher than the benefit (a couple kB on disk). |

I've found out that my original problem caused by CSwpython-devel installed from testing. I'd like to maintain the other issue - I think distutils belong to the main Python package. The reason is that for languages such as Perl, Python or Ruby, installing new packages locally is something you often do; it's not only developers who do that, it's often users who just need to install a library. It makes sense to save people hassle figuring out which package they're missing. |

Distutils now belong to the CSWpython package. |
