<PRE>2011/1/19 Michael scherer &lt;<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">misc at zarb.org</A>&gt;:
&gt;<i> Because that would 1) requires a patch to rpm that we do not have or
</I>&gt;<i> 2) patch all python packages to had %ghost on all *.pyc, &#160;and do a compilation of
</I>&gt;<i> *pyc ( the 2nd part is easy, the first one is slightly harder to automate )
</I>&gt;<i> 3) do not care about file tracking, but that's unclean.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Do not get me wrong, I think that's the way forward, but that's not applicable
</I>&gt;<i> in a few days.
</I>of course

Can we forget for a little Mandriva and talk about Mageia ?
I mean, we are before the alpha stage, so it's time to think about
what the future can be
did you read the OpenSuse policy ?
<A HREF="http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_Python">http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_Python</A>

of course the best solution would be be to put into the rpm only *.py,
bitcompilling them at install and trac *.pyc and *.pyo as %ghost

but it seems that neither Fedora, neither OpenSuse have problem to
package bitcompiled files
(the %fdupes OpenSuse solution seems not bad)

or can we patch distutils/command/install.py even more than OpenSuse
(<A HREF="https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file?file=python-distutils-rpm-8.patch&amp;package=python&amp;project=home%3Acoolo%3Abranches%3AopenSUSE%3AFactory&amp;srcmd5=25a3587ace933a14ae62edfc4cd927b7">https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file?file=python-distutils-rpm-8.patch&amp;package=python&amp;project=home%3Acoolo%3Abranches%3AopenSUSE%3AFactory&amp;srcmd5=25a3587ace933a14ae62edfc4cd927b7</A>)
did, to generate a rpm-compatible format that would manage  %ghost ?
