I am still on the 2013 profile, and I therefore have PYTHON_TARGETS=python2_7 python3_5.
The other day I had to install python 3.6 for reasons unrelated to portage or other packages. I thought I would reduce my overall snake footprint by removing 3.5 _if_ it wasn't really necessary anymore. To that end, I removed the line dev-lang/python:3.5 from /etc/portage/world, and then I did emerge --depclean. I was somewhat surprised when portage charged ahead and removed python 3.5, but I said ok maybe it automatically changed the TARGETS of the dependencies and they will be rebuilt next time. But _no_, checks with equery and emerge -p show that all python code providing packages still have python_targets_python3_5 on, and python_targets_python3_6 off. This is disappointing. It looks like I have to do 2 things manually: * set PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_6" - where? In make.conf? Will it override the profile setting? * make sure dev-lang/python:3.6 stays in the world file, even if it is not needed by me directly Or I am badly confused as I often am ;-) -- Please don't Cc: me privately on mailing lists and Usenet, if you also post the followup to the list or newsgroup.
