Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-10-15 21:39:50 UTC 
app-admin/python-updater should properly handle Python modules installed for multiple Python versions.

-o/--old-version option should be removed.
-n/--new-versions option should be added. It will accept ','-delimited list of versions of Python. When -n/--new-versions option hasn't been specified, then USE_PYTHON variable will be checked. If USE_PYTHON is unset, then the same algorithm, which is used by python.eclass, will be used.

Packages not supporting installation for multiple Python versions will be handled as previously.

This just hit me hard on all infra boxes when I tried to upgrade everywhere to Python 2.6. Can you please drop a release w/ it ASAP?

Specifically, snakeoil is being infinitely rebuilt.

It's a separate (maybe unfixable) problem. dev-python/snakeoil modifies PYTHON_ABIS variable in incompatible way. Please report a new bug for dev-python/snakeoil.

Fixed in app-admin/python-updater-0.8.
