Thanks for the patch. The python stuff is foreign to me. Maybe you could explain? It's considered a good idea not to let the package compile its own Python: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/Python/developersguide.xml#doc_chap2_sect8 to ensure a platform consistent way of generating the byte code. One benefit I like is that if you do a: qlist gnome-extra/gnome-dvb-daemon you only see the .py files and not all the compiled versions too - even though they are still managed by portage. Arfrever said the patch looks good. Thanks a lot! :) Changes actually applied in the tree don't work for me. The: ln -s $(type -P true) py-compile fails because py-compile already exists. Other ebuilds in the tree that do this put this line before: mv py-compile py-compile.orig. Others have ln -sf which seems to work OK for me. Ah! Crap! Thanks for pointing that out, that was totally my fault. Fixed. |
