[gentoo-user] getting rid of python-2.3

2007-05-23 Thread Iain Buchanan
Hi all,

can I recompile all the packages that require python-2.3, and then
uninstall it?  I have two versions now - 2.3 and 2.4 (as others in ~arch
may have too) but I think it's causing some issues...

according to:
$ equery depends =dev-lang/python-2.3.6-r2

all the packages that are listed depend on =dev-lang/python-x.y, so
nothing seems to specifically need python 2.3, is this right?

I've been trawling through google, but haven't found anything at all
about this, so any links would also be good.

thanks,

Run python-updater to recompile anything that was built against older
python versions.

cool:

 * No packages needs to be remerged.

I quick-pkg'd python-2.3 (just in case) and removed it.  So far no
probs.
