Description Miro Hrončok 2022-01-29 12:26:53 UTC 
The package python3-zinnia has the following automatic provide:

  python3dist(zinnia-python) = 0

It appears that the actual package version was lost during the packaging process. 

In most cases, this is caused by using a Source that misses version information, e.g. A GitHub tarball when the project uses setuptools_scm or pbr. See https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Python/#_source_files_from_pypi

This bugzilla was created in a batch, so it does not have information about the exact cause for this package. If you need help figuring out why this happens in this particular package, feel free to ask.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 36 development cycle.
Changing version to 36.
Comment 2 Peng Wu 2022-02-10 02:38:11 UTC 
I think zinnia use swig to generate python binding.

How could I provide the version information for zinnia python binding?
Comment 3 Miro Hrončok 2022-02-10 08:58:34 UTC 
From the specfile:

pushd python
python3 setup.py install --root $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
pushd


From setup.py:

#!/usr/bin/env python

from distutils.core import setup,Extension,os
import string

setup(name = "zinnia-python",
      py_modules=["zinnia"],
      ext_modules = [Extension("_zinnia",
                               ["zinnia_wrap.cxx",],
                               libraries=["zinnia"])
                     ])




E.g. there is no version=... in the setup() call.

Nothing in Fedora requires python3dist(zinnia-python) / python3.10dist(zinnia-python).

https://pypi.org/project/zinnia-python/ does not exist either.


IMHO the best solution to this problem is to rm $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{python3_sitearch}/zinnia_python-0.0.0-py%{python3_version}.egg-info after the setup.py install call, with a reference to this bugzilla.

Clearly, the metadata is not relevant for upstream.

---------

Alternatively, go talk to upstream and ask them if they could set the version= in setup.py to something meninful.
