Third, there is this: # NOTE: the above "/usr/local/bin/python" is NOT a mistake. It is # intentionally NOT "/usr/bin/env python". On many systems # (e.g. Solaris), /usr/local/bin is not in $PATH as passed to CGI # scripts, and /usr/local/bin is the default directory where Python is # installed, so /usr/bin/env would be unable to find python. Granted, # binary installations by Linux vendors often install Python in # /usr/bin. So let those vendors patch cgi.py to match their choice # of installation. Finally, I'll note that this is the first come this has come up. cgi.py is for using cgi type capabilities when creating scripts for a web server. This has been deprecated for quite a few years now. The only reason is is still in Python at all is for legacy web sites. If users need this, they should be able to figure it out on their own. -- Bruce
As the original code writer (I do recognize my "style" :-}) let me give my 2 cents - My sed substitution is a very big overkill (trying to make 105% sure not the change other code part). your proposal is better (thank Bruce) - seems scrat went on OUSKISS repository and look for RPM solution (no problem scrat, sharing and improving ideas and solutions is always good). The problem is RPM refusing to install python3 as there is implied dependency with a none existing path. - IMHO, this RPM problem/solution doesn't concern LFS, as it is pure RPM problem and LFS do not address packaging issue. Such adding this "twist" is not relevant to LFS book (my 2 Cents). -- A bientôt =========================================================== Jean-Marc Pigeon E-Mail: [email protected] SAFE Inc.
