Hello,
the proposed changes have been applied to all ebuilds of dev-lang/python
in Gentoo's main tree as of now.
So it's in CVS now, mirrors take longer.
If you stumble upon problems with it please
- file bugs with details
- reply here, pointing to the bug
NOTE: If you plan to explicitly unmerge an older version of Python,
you still may experience auto-updates of the active Python
version do to calls to eselect_python_update() from pkg_postrm()
of older ebuilds. Details follow.
To be sure you can use this command:
# fgrep -A 8 'eselect_python_update()' \
/var/db/pkg/dev-lang/python-*/python-*.ebuild
You may either find nothing or one of these variants:
A) The troublemaker doing updates
eselect_python_update() {
local eselect_python_options
[[ "$(eselect python show)" == "python2."* ]] \
&& eselect_python_options="--python2"
# Create python2 symlink.
eselect python update --python2 > /dev/null
eselect python update ${eselect_python_options}
}
B) Its harmless successor
eselect_python_update() {
if [[ -z "$(eselect python show --python${PV%%.*})" ]]; then
eselect python update --python${PV%%.*}
fi
}
To fully solve this remaining problem we will have to touch
eselect-python.
Best,
Sebastian
