[arch-general] Problem with packaging pyxdg and xdg from PyPI
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Ahoi, I maintain a tool called virtualfish [1] on the AUR. It is writte in python and one dependency of it is called xdg [2]. It is not packaged in archlinux so I would just do that on the AUR. Problem is there already is a package in archlinux extra which is called python-xdg [3]. That package includes a python library called pyxdg [4] which does nearly the same as xdg but is still a different library. In my opinion the arch packages python-xdg and python2-xdg have an incorrect name. They should be called python-pyxdg so the xdg module could be packaged under python-xdg. The naming schema with the python-py prefix looks odd but isn't new. It is already used in the pyserial [5] package. How do we solve this problem?

Also keep in mind that since both provide 'import xdg', renaming the package wouldn't let you install both of them. Also when renaming a repository package, we must add provides/conflicts/replaces which means a new python-xdg package would never be found from the AUR, and if manually installed, would prompt to replace it with the repo package on every singe pacman -Syu. Fragmentation is fun. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
