Patch EPEL5 numpy.spec to add python26 support as well.

Hi,

 Here is  a patch to the current EPEL5 .spec file to build a 
 python26-numpy package as well from the same .spec file.

 Of course it may easier to do a completely separate an up to
 date numpy.

  Steve.

 In fact although the package builds fine there are is an ERROR and
 FAIL from the python26 version of numpy but I think its good to record
 the intention here.

Byte compiles with path option.

This is simple script that makes the byte compiling a little
more flexible to cope with this dual python. It's needed by the patched
.spec file.

python26-numpy package for EPEL5.


I think this is better solution.

This is a python26-numpy.spec file that builds  only a 
python26 variant of numpy version 1.4.1.

It's largely based  on the F14 one again.

I'll probably submit this as a new package soonish but you may have comment.

The tests all pass fine now with this.

I'm fairly confident that this will not interfere with the existing 
numpy in EPEL5 and I realise that is most important.

Steve.

Comment 3 Steve Traylen 2010-06-23 23:46:58 UTC
Sorry on the next one I won't include:

/usr/include/numpy -> /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/

but 

/usr/include/numpy26 -> /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/

Comment 4 Gwyn Ciesla 2010-06-29 14:06:39 UTC
I agree, I think that would be better, but I think it might be best to provide the same version of numpy for the two python versions.  If you submit a review and want to maintain it, that's fine, otherwise I can submit and maintain, if you want to do the review.  Your call.

Comment 5 Steve Traylen 2010-06-29 14:18:57 UTC
I'd prefer the new version, apart from anything else it does not just work
with the python2.4 version, see comment #1.

Given we have a super new python 2.6 we may as well take new stuff where
possible given there is no interaction between the two things. I realize
this is newer than rawhide. And we will be stuck with this version 
for a few years I guess.

I'll submit the package shortly with this bug blocking on it. Of course
subsequent co-ownership makes sense if you want to ask.

Steve.

Comment 6 Konstantin Tokarev 2010-11-13 10:28:28 UTC
Thank you Steve, your spec builds fine. But I'd like to have an option to prune lapack and Fortran dependencies using build options

Comment 7 Steve Traylen 2010-12-22 06:19:01 UTC
I'll close this bug since this was an RFE to create
a python26-numpy package based on the existing EPEL5 version
of numpy. 

This is now obsoleted by the ongoing
package review of python26-numpy in bug #619355.
