Bug 610010 – mozcoreconf-*.eclass: PYTHON_COMPAT set in eclass

• Status: CONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michał Górny 2017-02-19 12:26:10 UTC]

Please move PYTHON_COMPAT from eclass to ebuilds. Having it set in eclass breaks our tools.

Define what tools break and how so.

gpy-showimpls and other impl-handling tools from app-portage/gpyutils. Since it can't run complete ebuild environment, it relies on being able to read PYTHON_COMPAT from .ebuild files.

$ gpy-showimpls firefox
www-client/firefox:0
          52.2.0: S a
          52.3.0: ~ a
          55.0.2: ~ a

vs for a package defining PYTHON_COMPAT correctly:

$ gpy-showimpls llvm
