Bugzilla Bug 207667

Hi there,

I've been running the following command on my system to see how bad gnome
ebuilds performed in correctly using python stuff and found out that gnome herd
isn't the only offender here:

$ egrep -H "*\.py[co]" /var/db/pkg/*/*/CONTENTS | cut -f1 -d: |uniq|sed \
"s|/CONTENTS||g"

I'll be looking into fixing gnome related ebuilds (hopefully before the 2008.0
snapshot) and CCed you so you're aware of the problem for other packages and
eventually ping maintainers to fix them.

I think I've now nearly finished all gnome-related packages I have installed on
my system. I will start fixing others packages unless someones stops me now :)

Of the stuff I have installed on my various machines, here is what's left to
do:

app-pda/libopensync-0.22
dev-java/javatoolkit-0.2.0-r1
dev-util/subversion-1.4.6
dev-lang/python-2.5.1-r5
dev-python/wxpython-2.6.4.0
media-gfx/gimp-2.4.3
net-analyzer/nmap-4.53
net-mail/fetchmail-6.3.8-r1
net-mail/mailman-2.1.9-r2
net-zope/zopeinterface-3.0.1-r1

Obviously there is probably much more across the tree so maybe we should
consider adding this test to the QA list of portage. Anyway, gnome herd should
be clean now, removing us from CC.

reassigning to qa so they are aware of this stuff.
