Since the "bugfix" done upstream: https://sft.its.cern.ch/jira/browse/ROOT-7888 for configure-style installation, the shebangs of the installed python-scripts look like: #!/usr/bin/env /var/tmp/portage/sci-physics/root-9999/temp/python2.7/bin/python since "configure" calls "which" and embeds the absolute path to the python-wrapper found during compile-time. Needless to say, this means execution fails. The best solution might be to use facilities of the python-eclass to handle the script installation / replace upstreams shebang altogether. Reproducible: Always
Since the configure-style build is breaking regularly because upstream is focussing on cmake only, it might even be best to start a 9999 ebuild from scratch relying on cmake only...
I added a live ebuild to the main tree: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=07b894710cc425e03d54562c56eab0731d333dc1 We can remove it from the science overlay now.
Cool, many thanks! Sadly, all issues / PR I opened for https://github.com/gentoo/sci in the last half year are completely without reaction, so I doubt it will be removed if I open an issue there. Essentially, it seems to be dead for the community (and only be used by those with direct push access). Do you have permissions / contacts to get the old, unmaintained ebuild removed? I'm also upstreaming some other ebuild that ought to be removed from gentoo/sci later.
