Created attachment 412500 [details, diff] DEPEND on Python2_7 for dev-db/percona-server when FEATURES=tests is set Hi, instead of removing tests which require Python 2.7 (bug 561024 comment #4) I suggest to keep these tests and add Python to DEPEND when using FEATURES=test. So people who care about tests will have a higher test coverage... This only affects dev-db/percona-server (I don't know dev-db/mariadb).
This would also require a patch or sed to 's/python /python2 /' because the DEPEND alone won't activate it
Are you sure? The python-any-r1_pkg_setup call will make sure that "python" will call python2* so no need to change the python shebang to python2.
I am closing this: mysql-multilib eclass was superseded by mysql-multilib-r1. mysql-multilib-r1 doesn't contain the requested change however it was added directly to the ebuild. First ebuild containing the change was https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/dev-db/percona-server?id=ac0bd95bed7e7746a5212842995cf9a74f3349b7
