For packagers who like to share a common spec file between Fedora and EPELs, the following macros are defined in EPEL and Fedora that you can use in conditionals. For each Python runtime, there are 2 versions of the macros: a must version (that says whether the packager must package for that runtime if possible) and a may version (that says that if the packager wants to, they may package for that runtime). Note that even if some macro currently expands to 1 an all Fedoras and EPELs, it maight change in the future.
%py3_must |
%py3_may |
%py2_must |
%py2_may
| |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| All Fedoras | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| EPEL 7 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| EPEL 6 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
It's up to the packager whether they conditionalize on the must or may macros, or whether they use those macros at all.
See some examples in the appendix.
(The following examples go into appendix:)
Example common spec file with the must/may macros
The following is a very simple spec file for a module building for both python2
and python3 in Fedoras and EPEL. It uses the %py3_must etc. macros so it should build on all possible distributions.
In this example, the packager want's to support as many Python stacks as possible.
