[issue1035576] Add New RPM-friendly record option to setup.py

[Tarek Ziadé]

Tarek Ziadé <ziade.tarek at gmail.com> added the comment:

distutils is now frozen in all branches, so not accepting new features but just bug fixes.

although distutils2 will not provide bdist_rpm, and I'd suggest the command to live on its own, in a new project (like bdist_deb did in stdeb). The benefit is to have a different release cycle which can follow the rpm world.

So yes, all pending feature requests to build_rpm, should be closed.

----------
resolution:  -> wont fix
status: open -> closed
type:  -> feature request
