Description Jan Niklas Hasse 2016-12-14 12:59:21 UTC
Description of problem:
The waf-python3 package provides the binary /usr/bin/waf-3. While this is fine when using both the Python 2 and the Python 3 version, it would be great if waf-python3 also provided the normal waf binary, so that the usage of Python 3 is encouraged.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
waf-python3-1.9.6-1.fc25.noarch

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run `dnf provides /usr/bin/waf`

Actual results:
Returns only the waf package.

Expected results:
Should return the waf *and* the waf-python3 package.

Comment 1 Thomas Moschny 2016-12-29 08:45:59 UTC
Not sure what to do here. Only one package can provide /usr/bin/waf.

Comment 2 Jan Niklas Hasse 2017-01-16 09:02:36 UTC
I think this can be done using update-alternatives. For example

dnf provides /usr/bin/wxrc

returns both wxGTK-devel and wxGTK3-devel. /usr/bin/waf would be a symlink to /etc/alternatives/waf (I think this is done by update-alternatives?) which would symlink to /usr/libexec/waf-python3/waf.

After looking at the wxGTK3.spec file, I think this should look something like this for Waf:

%post
if [ -f %{_bindir}/waf ] && [ ! -h %{_bindir}/waf ] ; then
  rm %{_bindir}/waf
fi
%{_sbindir}/update-alternatives --install %{_bindir}/waf \
  waf %{_libexecdir}/%{name}/waf 3

%postun
if [ $1 -eq 0 ] ; then
  %{_sbindir}/update-alternatives --remove waf %{_libexecdir}/%{name}/waf
fi

%files
%ghost %{_bindir}/waf
