Hi, Since the default python interpreter is python 3, should we renamed python 2 librairies: python2-* and python 3 libraries: python-* ?
The consensus is that if these libraries do not work with python 3, they do not need to be renamed. Simply change their dependency from python to python2.
However, if python 3 works, you can have 2 packages:
python2-foobar python-foobar (or foobar if it's an app in its own right)
Do you think it is advisable to gradually add provides=('python2-somename') to packages that are not renamed, so that people then update their dependencies to 'python2-somename' ? It would avoid big rebuilds when the name actually changes. -- Rémy.
