Description:

This update for openvswitch provides the following fixes:

  • Improve python packaging (bsc#1115085):
  • Rename python-openvswitch subpackages to python-ovs to follow the openSUSE policy that packages should be named after the modules they install.
  • Build the JSON C bindings and as a result the 'noarch' BuildArch needs to be removed.
  • Drop the python*-openvswitch-test packages and merge them with the test subpackage.
  • Build the python bindings using setuptools.
  • Include the egg-info package.
  • Use libopenvswitch as dependency to python bindings.
