Do we have a dedicated py2 overlay? Renpy has quite some py2 deps, so it will be reasonable to support it in such overlay instead of duplicating job for common packages. > I am not quite convinced simply having then masked in the > main tree makes sense, as these will have to stay masked even after > RenPy 8.0 has come out. The sense I see: 1) it will make it easier to update to 8.0; 2) for users willing to use renpy it will be a starting point, though they'll need to setup py2 outside of portage somehow, maybe using pip. But maybe it will be easier for users to use bundled renpy from games (it often comes with its own py2); though not all games have linux port — that is the killer feature of the in-tree renpy version.
