No, this is the naming scheme we've been using for Python packages. python-foo: sources pythonXY-foo: binaries for each supported X.Y version of Python > > 2) This should be an ITA for python-imaging instead, which has been > > Pillow-based for a long time. > > The Python imaging library was replaced by Pillow as far as I can tell, > and seems to have been unmaintained since 2011. Could you give me a link > to the library you're talking about please? As I said, our python-imaging packages have been from Pillow for quite some time. Technically, at this point they should be named python-pil or the like, but the package name long predates the PIL namespace being mandatory (not to mention the Pillow fork in general), but I never renamed the packages to avoid the complications involved therein. Either way, "pillow" isn't the right name IMO because users don't "from Pillow import", they "from PIL import". -- Yaakov
