[issue12976] add support for MirBSD platform
Benny Siegert bsieg...@gmail.com added the comment: Hmm, I thought I was making an argument _for_ applying the patch. As I see it, these are benefits of merging the patch: 1. Being able to compile an unmodified upstream Python on MirBSD. 2. The patches in pkgsrc become smaller. 3. Future Python versions contain the support out of the box. The only downside is having to add a few lines to configure and selectmodule.c ... -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue12976 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue12976] add support for MirBSD platform
Martin v. Löwis mar...@v.loewis.de added the comment: You said I can maintain the patch for future releases. This sounds like a reasonable solution: you keep maintaining the patch; if you want python.org to link to your patch, we can certainly arrange that. By the no minority platforms policy, MirBSD is just too small to be officially supported. Technically, I recommend to maintain the patch in a Mercurial clone, perhaps hosted on bitbucket. Then you do a merge every time python.org makes a release, and everybody can fetch the code base at any point easily. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue12976 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue12976] add support for MirBSD platform
Charles-François Natali neolo...@free.fr added the comment: Hello Benny, As requested, here is the full patch for MirBSD support. The diff was taken against version 2.7.2. It is really quite easy, you just need to handle MirBSD like OpenBSD. With this patch, I can successfully compile and run Python on MirBSD. Even though it is a rather exotic platform, I encourage you to take these changes, as they are quite minimal. Indeed, it's quite short and manageable, but see http://bugs.python.org/issue11937, especially Martin's and Terry's comments: Guido established a policy a few years ago that we should rather not incorporate support for every minority platform for which people contribute patches. While I'd personally agree that an Interix port would certainly be fun, pragmatically, I'm -1 on having the code in the code basis, and propose to close this issue as won't fix. We would certainly be happy to link to gentoo prefix from the other ports page on python.org. and Markus, I agree with Martin that this patch would go against current policy and should be closed. Rather than close it myself, I will try to persuade you to do so. [...] This patch is much simpler and cleaner though (OTOH, it's so simple it shouldn't be too much work for MirBSD folks to keep this patch in sync). -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue12976 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
