[gentoo-user] Python3.4 to python3.5 in ebuilds
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 It seems like 3.4 and 3.5 are 100% compatible, and most ebuilds involving python in some way tolerate them both (any-of ( python_targets_python3_3 python_targets_python3_4 python_targets_python3_5)). Yet there are some that are still unhappy with 3.5. This makes me really annoyed and I was wondering if it was possible to write a simple script to add python_targets_python3_5 where needed. Would this break anything, and if no, why can't the maintainers or some portage-tree admin do it? Of course there might be some other barrier to adopting 3.5 that I can't understand, so please explain it to me. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJWnPGDAAoJEBYxB87Vey/RIAsH/A56lGenSnQhgBY3ItZZV+10 YkrtLo+k9miSWlSB6QI0KPRkIRJU2ldnT89gYQ2FeUqOrSwVdMcUuDdWnbOpktk5 6QBn7E3sLGHb19JznhF3SkuSjf2IhzFz28cVo7D1vG8wL9hTip1J5DQuw+q9dz9F 63T4qwepiKSrHMIKIsJaP/dMBZO8Ic0+/0mgYW5huhrSX0pKSHktMGaAIlU12bSs wFUI+uCQjAvGsHtikJJJVBvLEnuSeMiJNvlSzMfe94JXZ+27b+qYjvZ2gJTsDRUO QnIhAppF+enKcQzaAQNxCzbti2gCEg5Y3vNX25zoqAYfgC21sxDZsyhytV++Mis= =2xVk -END PGP SIGNATURE-

It probably will not break a whole lot, but python 3.5 is still relatively new and package maintainers are still catching up. Alec
