Bug 642092 – sys-kernel/genkernel-next-68: depends on asciidoc and so on Python 2.7

• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE
• Product: Gentoo Hosted Projects

[Description Morton Pellung 2017-12-23 10:12:00 UTC]

genkernel-next has:
DEPEND="app-text/asciidoc....

but Asciidoc needs Python 2.7 as PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET, with no Python 3 support planned - see bug https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=641648

this situation clashes with the recent switch to Gentoo profile 17.0 as this profile specifies as defaults:
emerge --info | grep PYTHON
PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_5" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_5"

so we have no Python 2.7 anymore for
- app-text/asciidoc-8.6.10::gentoo USE="-examples -graphviz -highlight -test" ABI_X86="(64)" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="(-pypy) -python2_7" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 (-pypy)"
  The following REQUIRED_USE flag constraints are unsatisfied:
    exactly-one-of ( python_single_target_pypy python_single_target_python2_7 )

--> using genkernel-next to build an initramfs should not depend on asciidoc with Python 2.7?


Reproducible: Always

Could we add a 'doc' USE flag that optionally enables asciidoc? This is the case for every other package that still depends on asciidoc, e.g. see dev-util/ninja: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/dev-util/ninja/ninja-1.8.2.ebuild

app-text/asciidoc now supports both Python 3.6 and Python 3.7

[Comment 3 Michał Górny 2020-08-20 12:51:03 UTC]

Package removed.
