Miro Hrončok
I am a member of the Fedora's Python SIG.
As a Linux distribution packager and packager mentor, I’ve seen hundreds of upstream projects and hundreds of distro packages. I help design packaging upstream and downstream.
I work at Red Hat Czech in the Python Maintenance team. I teach advanced Python (and Python packaging) at the Czech Technical University and I teach beginners in the Czech PyLadies beginners courses. I’m a contributing member of the Python Software Foundation and a member of the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee and the Fedora Packaging Committee, where I represent the technical and packaging leadership in Fedora.
Session
The Fedora Python SIG and the Python maintenance team at Red Hat
are systems integrators who work at the intersection of two worlds:
a cross-platform ecosystem and a platform open to all kinds of software.
This talk introduces both Python packaging and RPM,
explains why we go through the trouble to repackage Python projects in RPM,
and covers some of the issues we're solving.
