(1) Have there been any fixes since my last testing at dfc4af35-53e9-ab11-6582-1d0d8e9f2cde@redhat.com">http://mid.mail-archive.com/dfc4af35-53e9-ab11-6582-1d0d8e9f2cde@redhat.com ? (2) My other question would have been about PYTHON3_ENABLE / PYTHON_COMMAND, since we discussed those in the same thread as well. But, your blurb explains them. So the test cases I plan to do are: - Test on RHEL7 (python2 only) without setting any variables. This would be used both for interactive builds and for package builds. - Test on RHEL8 without setting any variables. Expect python3 to be picked automatically. Used for interactive builds. - Test on RHEL8 with just PYTHON_COMMAND set, namely to "/usr/libexec/platform-python". Expect the python3 logic to be active. Would be used for package builds. Thanks!
