Bug 705470 – Gentoo should patch dev-lang/python-3.6.10/setup.py so that emerge tests zlib module (which portage uses)

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description Massimo Burcheri 2020-01-15 08:45:02 UTC]

This is an experimental Prefix on OpenBSD, using some old outdated profile I found for:
https://cgit.gentoo.org/user/palmer.git/commit/profiles/prefix/bsd/openbsd?h=old&id=25d23e6b17fd4d85abe5aa2ed03f91b7a186d8bc

A potential patch might be before all return lines of function check_extension_import.

Reproducible: Always

I had patched bootstrap-prefix.sh to use PV=3.6.10 because of bug #705104.

we really don't support the BSDs any more because it proved to be very difficult to succeed and maintain, sorry
