- 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 292355 [details, diff] ebuild patch Have no idea how why, can't set EAPI higher than 2. depends on python2. ABIs {2,6 2,7 3,1 ,32} tested. ALL emerges AOK. Note * QA Notice: Package triggers severe warnings which indicate that it * may exhibit random runtime failures. * error.c:88: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules * cookie.c:137: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules -------------------------------------------------------- * Please do not file a Gentoo bug and instead report the above QA * issues directly to the upstream developers of this software. * Homepage: http://xcb.freedesktop.org/ http://pypi.python.org/pypi/xpyb
(In reply to comment #1) You should use x-modular_src_install() in src_install().
Created attachment 292927 [details, diff] revised ebuild patch
(In reply to comment #3) So is python_convert_shebangs() needed or not? x-modular_src_install() would have to be explicitly called in src_install() only when src_install() contained also other things.
Created attachment 293235 [details, diff] revised ebuild patch repoman informed to update to eclass xorg-2. python_mod_optimize required, however for the second time, python_mod_optimize(): Missing files or directories * Removing unnecessary /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/xcb/xcb.a * Removing unnecessary /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/xcb/xcb.a * Removing unnecessary /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/xcb/xcb.la (forced) I've left the python_mod_optimize && python_mod_cleanup commented out for when the above confusion over python_mod_optimize is sotred
This approach was changed by the -r1 python eclasses
