Changes/Platform Python Stack/Roadmap

Platform Python Stack: Roamap

There should be a copr repo where this all happens. In order to have permission, it has been created in the python-sig group: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/platform-python-stack/

• create the platform-python package
  • by cstratak
  • stdlib and site-packages installs to /usr/lib(64)/platform-python3.6
  • /usr/libexec/platform-python
  • python3-config to platform-python-config, make it work
  • libpython.so to libplatformpython.so, make it work
  • probably drop tkinter and tools until proven needed

• create macros from the example specfile
  • by torsava
  • ready in COPR
  • put them to python-rpm-macros
  • https://github.com/torsava/python-rpm-macros/tree/private-torsava-master

• add platform supackages to setuptools, pip, wheel
  • by torsava
  • blocked until platform-python built in COPR
  • add bcond conditionals for all 3 subpackages: with_python2, with_python3, with_platform_python
  • bootstrap build them (see python3.spec for build order)
  • check if the platform-python(abi) works

• adjust the python(abi) requires/provides mechanism
  • blocked until we have packages depending on platform-python to test it on
  • it should require/provide platform-python(abi) for stuff in /usr/lib(64)/platform-python
  • the code lives in the rpm package: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/blob/master/scripts/pythondistdeps.py

• rebuild platform-python with rewheel

• start adding platform-python subpackages up until dnf
  • add bcond conditionals for all 3 subpackages: with_python2, with_python3, with_platform_python
  • if present, remove the system python abi macro and/or shabeng adjusting for system-python

• adjust dnf
  • make /usr/bin/dnf use /usr/libexec/platform-python, make it require platform-python-dnf instead of python3-dnf

• grep the specfiles for system-python abi macro and or shebang requirement and remove it
  • http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/repo/rpm-specs-latest.tar.xz
  • there are packages not covered by previous steps but using it
  • probably not worth doing in copr, wait for rawhide
