[Pkg-giraffe-discuss] python2/python3 packaging

[Mark Dufour]

hi guys,

so for 8.5 we are hard at work to fully support python3, but it's not yet entirely clear how to do the packaging. on the RPM side we call configure twice with different versions of PYTHON, then collect the SWIG libs from swig/python/.libs and package those separately as "python-mapi" and "python3-mapi". if anyone would have some recommendations that would be great:

-do you know of an example debian.rules file which does a similar thing perhaps?
-what about python-kopano, which runs fine with python2 and python3.. so in principle no need to have a separate python3-kopano? 
-what about something like kopano-search, which also runs fine with python2 and 3.. would be a bit awkward to have a python3-kopano-search..? :P

as said, any advice on how to proceed here would be very much welcome.


thanks!
mark.
