- If this package can be used as a library and installs Python modules (*.so or *.py) into site-packages directories, then consider supporting installation for multiple Python versions. Please read section "Types of packages" in documentation [1] to decide if this package can support installation for multiple Python versions. - Ensure that the ebuilds do not use deprecated functions or variables. - Please check if Python 3 is supported by this package. You can temporarily set Python 3 as main active version of Python to properly test if this package supports Python 3. - If this package does not support Python 3: - Specify dependency on Python 2. You can use PYTHON_DEPEND helper variable, which should be set before inheriting of python eclass. Please read section "Specification of dependency on Python" in documentation [1]. - If this package cannot support installation for multiple versions of Python, then set active version of Python using python_set_active_version(). - Ensure that shebangs in installed scripts specify correct version of Python. If shebangs are too generic (e.g. '#!/usr/bin/python'), then you can use python_convert_shebangs() to convert shebangs. (Wrapper scripts generated by python_generate_wrapper_scripts() do not require any changes.) Please read section "Shebangs in installed scripts" in documentation [1]. - To ensure that changes applied to the ebuilds are sufficient, please temporarily set Python 3 as main active version of Python and test if this package can be properly installed and if it works at run time. Please see documentation [1] for more details. [1] http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/Python/developersguide.xml
telepathy-glib doesn't install any python-related files to 'site-packages' and neither does it link against libpython. Python is only invoked runtime to generate some build files.
That said, it probably only works with python 2
Yup, failed with Python3
Created attachment 241809 [details] telepathy-glib-0.11.11.ebuild Someone could please review the python bits: telepathy-glib requires at least python 2.5, but during build invokes some python scripts that do not work under python3. Also this package doesn't install any .py files.
+ 13 Oct 2010; Gilles Dartiguelongue <eva@gentoo.org> + telepathy-glib-0.12.0.ebuild: + Fix build with multiple python installation, bug #315323. Add support for + vala bindings needed for gnome 2.32. Should be fine now. Thanks for reporting.
