Bug 726332 – Prefix fails stage1 on cygwin because of python

• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description Alexey 2020-05-30 23:09:05 UTC]

!!! failed to apply python36-71f2ac2444946c97d892be3892e47d2a509e0e96/00189-use-rpm-wheels.patch

I see python-3.7.7 in var/tmp instead of 3.6

Python 3.6 will be removed from Gentoo soon.  We need to migrate to Python 3.7.

[Comment 3 Fabian Groffen 2020-05-31 08:05:11 UTC]

yes, but cygwin patches are a pita.

Alexey you could try changing the following bit in bootstrap-prefix.sh:

PYTHONMAJMIN=3.7   # keep this number in line with PV below for stage1,2
bootstrap_python() {
    PV=3.7.7
    A=Python-${PV}.tar.xz
    patch=true

to

PYTHONMAJMIN=3.6   # keep this number in line with PV below for stage1,2
bootstrap_python() {
    PV=3.6.8
    A=Python-${PV}.tar.xz
    patch=true

Should you need the Python-3.6.8.tar.xz file, you can find a copy here:
https://bootstrap.prefix.bitzolder.nl/distfiles/python-3.6.8.tar.xz@ee55acedef049268307633cbc9c7ff0610d1244f
ensure to rename it to the aforementioned name in your distfiles directory.

We should try to upgrade the cygwin bits to 3.7, but this might get you through stage1.

Seems to work (so far) with 3.6.10, as that's the version available on distfiles.g.o

[Comment 5 Fabian Groffen 2020-05-31 08:25:35 UTC]

that's fine too, of course

[Comment 6 Fabian Groffen 2021-01-21 16:49:42 UTC]

this is likely not the only problem, cygwin is heavily under supported
