Re: Scons 4.8.0 does not reflect correct python version dependency

It seems without "--warn=no-python-version", the warning causes scons to abort. But with "--warn=no-python-version" the warning is gone, and scons does continue.
Is the warning intended to be fatal?

it also works to add

SetOption('warn', ['no-python-version'])

in your build scripts - often putting it in site_scons/site_init.py is done since that's known to be processed very eary in the sequence.

the information in 'packaging/rpm' and 'packaging/debian' is 
informational - yes it's out of date, and it's not expected to be used 
(not sure why still in the repo, but the fact it has no users is why it 
doesn't get updated).  For current deb and rpm packaging, please defer 
to the ones maintained by the distributions that use those formats.
