Description Kevin Fenzi 2010-06-03 19:37:25 UTC

Spec URL: http://www.scrye.com/~kevin/fedora/Spawning26/Spawning26.spec
SRPM URL: http://www.scrye.com/~kevin/fedora/Spawning26/Spawning26-0.9.3-0.rc2.5.el5.src.rpm
Description: 

Spawning is a wsgi server which supports multiple processes,
multiple threads, green threads, non-blocking HTTP io,
and automatic graceful upgrading of code.

NOTE: This package is intended for the python26 stack in EPEL5 only.

Comment 1 Lev Shamardin 2010-06-22 17:10:21 UTC

May be this is a bit late, but: don't you think that this package should be named "python26-spawning"? (and it's counterpart in Fedora/EPEL5-python24 to be renamed to python-spawning?)

Compare to CherryPy or Twisted: the packages are named python-cherrypy and python-twisted-blah, so this renaming should make package naming more consistent.

Comment 2 Kevin Fenzi 2010-06-22 17:40:26 UTC

Well, I don't know that I consider this to be a python add-on or library. 

It provides a /usr/sbin/Spawning26 command, so it seems to me to be an application that happens to be written in python. Does that make sense?

Comment 3 Lev Shamardin 2010-06-22 18:07:05 UTC

I've picked CherryPy and Twisted as references because they do essentially the same thing: they provide a web-server, which can be used as a python library, and at the same time they contribute some commands to /usr/bin

Comment 4 Kevin Fenzi 2010-07-02 19:43:38 UTC

After talking with Dave and Toshio and other various discussions, I decided this package isn't needed. 

Since it's an application, not a library it doesn't make sense to have versions for the various stacks here. 

Closing.
