Description Björn Esser (besser82) 2016-10-22 10:56:17 UTC
Description:

  The binstruct library allows you to access binary data using a
  predefined structure.  The binary data can be provided in any form
  that allows an indexed access to single bytes.  This could for example
  be a memory-mapped file.  The data structure itself is defined in way
  similar to Django database table definitions by declaring a new class
  with its fields.

I don't think so…  That is a requirement from an outdated guideline…  See the recent discussion on fedora-devel-ml [1] about that topic…

mmh...

This rule still does not look deprecated.

>Any package that uses setuptools or distutils will build egg-info.

>Do not distribute egg packages from upstream. In Fedora, all packages must be rebuilt from source.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#No_inclusion_of_pre-built_binaries_or_libraries

This package uses setuptools to build egg files.

Yes, that is true… *BUT* .egg-info is metadata, not pre-built binaries…  There is a huge difference between the the plain-text-files shipped in .egg-info and a pre-built python-egg-package which is shipped as a .egg-file…

Nothing is the cited guidelines says one needs to remove generated metadata…

In addition to my previous comment:

It looks like f-r does checks for binary eggs in the sources, as you can see in it's output above…  If it would be a requirement to even remove the .egg-info metadata, why does it explicitly say '*binary* eggs'?

Even the common example spec-file [1] doesn't say it needs to be removed.

Comment 6 Björn Esser (besser82) 2016-10-24 15:45:33 UTC
Stephen Gallagher clarified on fedora-devel-ml [1], that it is not mandatory to remove .egg-info.  It is *recommended*, if one alters setup.py, which is not the case here.
