Goal
The goal is to rebuild every Fedora Python package before the Fedora 14 Feature Freeze (July 27th).
Driving Features
From an RPM metadata perspective, the relevant packages contain:
- various files below /usr/lib{64}/python-2.6, which need to move to /usr/lib{64}/python-2.7
- a
Requires: python(abi) = 2.6
, which must become aRequires: python(abi) = 2.7
From an implementation perspective, the bytecode format for .pyc and .pyo files has changed, and the C ABI for extension modules has likely changed as well, necessitating a recompile of all of these
