- If this package can be used as a library and installs Python modules (*.so or *.py) into site-packages directories, then consider supporting installation for multiple Python versions. Please read section "Types of packages" in documentation [1] to decide if this package can support installation for multiple Python versions. - Ensure that the ebuilds do not use deprecated functions or variables. - Please check if Python 3 is supported by this package. You can temporarily set Python 3 as main active version of Python to properly test if this package supports Python 3. - If this package does not support Python 3: - Specify dependency on Python 2. You can use PYTHON_DEPEND helper variable, which should be set before inheriting of python eclass. Please read section "Specification of dependency on Python" in documentation [1]. - If this package cannot support installation for multiple versions of Python, then set active version of Python using python_set_active_version(). - Ensure that shebangs in installed scripts specify correct version of Python. If shebangs are too generic (e.g. '#!/usr/bin/python'), then you can use python_convert_shebangs() to convert shebangs. (Wrapper scripts generated by python_generate_wrapper_scripts() do not require any changes.) Please read section "Shebangs in installed scripts" in documentation [1]. - To ensure that changes applied to the ebuilds are sufficient, please temporarily set Python 3 as main active version of Python and test if this package can be properly installed and if it works at run time. Please see documentation [1] for more details. [1] http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/Python/developersguide.xml
Created attachment 229873 [details] lilycomp-1.0.2-r2.ebuild latest is from 2004, only works with python 2.
RESTRICT_PYTHON_ABIS is for packages supporting installation for multiple Python ABIS. python_set_active_version() is for packages not supporting installation for multiple Python ABIs. Why do you use PYTHON_DEPEND="2::2.6"? Are you sure that this package doesn't support Python 2.7? PYTHON_USE_WITH="tk" and python_pkg_setup() might be used.
Created attachment 229951 [details] lilycomp-1.0.2-r2.ebuild The only thing installed except the docs is ; cat /usr/bin/lilycomp #!/usr/bin/env python [snip] does the shebang need to be fixed for Python 2 ie #!/usr/bin/python2
Created attachment 229961 [details] lilycomp-1.0.2-r2.ebuild Fixed the shebang
PYTHON_USE_WITH="tk" and DEPEND=">=dev-lang/python-2.4[tk]" seem to be the only requirements, python_pkg_setup() seems not to be needed. I does support both pyth 2 & 3.
This approach was changed by the -r1 python eclasses
