Description Yuta SATOH 2013-01-24 11:32:38 UTC
Environment on Gentoo/FreeBSD that contains coreutils, dev-python/cython installation will fail.

When coreutils is installed, cp will try to use the option of GNU.
However, GNU's cp command is provided as gcp on FreeBSD.

Please add the code in order to be a successful installation of cython on FreeBSD.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge coreutils
2. emerge dev-python/cython
3.
Actual Results:

sample patch for python.eclass
Comment 2 Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2013-03-02 14:21:21 UTC
cython is using distutils-r1 now.
Comment 3 Yuta SATOH 2013-07-28 13:43:19 UTC
sys-apps/file and dev-python/pyelftools are still using distutils.eclass.
I'll re-open this bug for packages of other than dev-python/cython.
Comment 4 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2014-04-27 18:24:58 UTC
(In reply to Yuta SATOH from comment #3)

not really relevant.  the packages will slowly migrate to newer eclasses over time.  in fact, both file and pyelftools have.
