    [$] Fedora SIG changes Python packaging strategy

    Wed, 16 Jul 2025 13:38:49 +0000

    Description:
    Fedora's NeuroFedora
    special-interest group (SIG) is considering a change of strategy
    when it comes to packaging Python modules. The SIG, which consists of
    three active members, is struggling to keep up with maintaining the hundreds of packages that it has taken on. What's more, it's not
    clear that the majority of packages are even being consumed by Fedora
    users; the group is trying to determine the right strategy to meet its
    goals and shed unnecessary work. If its new packaging strategy is
    successful, it may point the way to a more sustainable model for Linux distributions to provide value to users without trying to package
    everything under the sun.
