Created attachment 337678 [details, diff] ebuild using python-r1 eclass I took a look at the new python eclasses and tried to convert hplip. Attached is a first draft but I think it needs more work. Also hplip is kind of special maybe one of the other new eclasses suits better. It should only depend on python if the minimal use flag is not set. It requires python with use threads and xml. It installs python scripts in non standard directories. It currently only works with python-2. Maybe the symlinks to pythonscripts which are installed need special treatment. net-print/cups, sys-apps/dbus/dbus, net-analyzer/net-snmp and dev-python/notify-python are not migrated to python-r1 so I guess they need to be converted before this ebuild can be put into the tree?
Given that description, you probably want python-single-r1. I can't quite tell how the ebuild works from the patch, but you seem to be on the right track. I would not wait around for those other packages to be converted. Just make a note to review the deps next time you touch hplip.
Created attachment 337692 [details, diff] ebuild using python-r1 eclass Further changes - use python-single-r1 - call python-single-r1_pkg_setup - use python_fix_shebang - use python_export without specifying an implementation - remove fdo_mime_desktop_database_update calls
Committed. Thanks for your input.
