Based on recent changes in 04769fa014,
packagers might want to use:
%{?python_provide:%python_provide python2-foo%{?_isa}}
...for backwards compatibility. However the macro adds obsoletes and
since RPM 4.15, obsoletes with %{?_isa} are not possible:
Only package names are allowed in Obsoletes: Obsoletes: python-foo(x86-64) < ...
To allow such usage, %python_provide now only obsoletes if the argument
does not end with ")".
In rpm 4.15 those are no longer defined.
The meaning of "python" is derived from %__python - and that errors by default
unless user defined.
Example usage:
%global __python /usr/bin/pypy3
...
%files
%{python_sitelib}/foo/
This is needed so people can do things like:
%if %{with python3}
%global __python %__python3
%else
%global __python %__python2
%else
And than just use %__python, %py_build, %py_install,
%python_sitelib, ...
This is to ensure the right linker flags get propagated into binaries
accompanying python packages whenever distutils (or similar, env.
variables provided build flags aware) module is delegated to build them
(e.g. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1541106). Instead of
using "%{__global_ldflags}" as the seed for the respective env. variable
one-off application, which would be a direct parallel to "%{optflags}"
seeding CFLAGS, use rather "${RPM_LD_FLAGS}" and "${RPM_OPT_FLAGS}",
as these are not directly bound to macros out of rpm proper (like
it would have been, e.g., on redhat-rpm-config package otherwise).
