Bug 131325 – python 2.4.4/2.3.6 enable pthreads inconditionaly

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description MT 2006-04-26 05:22:30 UTC]

the python ebuild enable the pthreads support inconditionaly and do not let the user to compile without it. Attached there is an ebuild that make use of the USE "threads".

p.s.: enabling pthreads make python not working on OpenMosix clusters, because Mosix daemon is not able to migrate the processes from software that is build with pthreads support.

compiling python with USE "-threads", fix the segmetation faults with oM demons, without losing portage software features. Hope this patch will be added to the CVS.

This really needs a USE flag, either threads, or nptl. It does not compile on 2.4 kernels that lack nptl, or etc.

USE=threads added to python-2.3.6-r1, 2.4.4-r1 and 2.5.1.
