Bug 18800 – dev-python/sip-3.5 ebuild fails to set PYVER

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description B. K. Oxley (binkley) 2003-04-05 08:31:02 UTC]

The dev-python/sip-3.5 ebuild correctly uses PYVER to install itself into version-specific python 
directories, but fails to ever set the value of PYVER.  Borrowing from other python ebuilds, 
inserting: 
 
PYVER=$(python -V 2>&1 | sed -e 's:Python \([0-9].[0-9]\).*:\1:') 
 
fixes the problem.  An example of the havoc this error causes, dev-python/PyQt won't build 
because it can't find sip.h in /usr/include/python2.2 as the broken ebuild for dev-python/sip 
installed into the non-existent /usr/include/python directory. 
 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge dev-python/sip-3.5.ebuild 
 
 
Actual Results:  
Sip installed in the wrong directories. 

Expected Results:  
Set PYVER in the ebuild file.

Fixed ebuild for dev-python/sip-3.5 by setting PYVER.

PYVER is set by the distutils_python_version from the distutils.eclass.

the re-declaration of this is not really needed. the package merges fine into the right directories:

>>> Merging dev-python/sip-3.5 to /
--- /usr/
--- /usr/include/
--- /usr/include/python2.2/
>>> /usr/include/python2.2/sip.h
>>> /usr/include/python2.2/sipQt.h
--- /usr/bin/
>>> /usr/bin/sip

>>> /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/libsip.so.9.3.0
>>> /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/libsip.so -> libsip.so.9.3.0

>>> /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/libsip.so.9.3 -> libsip.so.9.3.0

How did PYVER get set for you?

I said:
