Summary: PyOpenGL has prebuilt .dlls 

Initial Comment:
PyOpenGL  in the PyOpenGL-3.0.1.tar.gz ships some DLLs in the OpenGL/DLLS path. 

Most distributions don't allow shipping of binary blobs so I'm removing them prior to uploading to the Fedora build servers.

Is it possible to split the DLLs in another package, or provide 2 packages? Or something else that will allow me to point to an upstream URL without the DLLs .

Message:
I don't know that I'd consider this a bug.  It's about the only way the
package is easily usable on Win32 machines.  Separating it out would mean
we'd need to rely on a working package/dependency management solution on
Win32, which hasn't turned out well in the past.  Is there some reason the
distribution cares about files that are not installed on their platform
(and which are actually just compiled versions of Open Source software
anyway)?
