Currently available htop only supports up to python 3.11. I've ran the tests with python 3.12 and everything works. Just changing thte PYTHON_COMPAT variable to include python3_12 is enough. Reproducible: Always
Does htop even need python anymore? https://github.com/htop-dev/htop/pull/130 https://github.com/htop-dev/htop/commit/a852fae8e02650d621abdd5aea29b7a56d9a3090
> Does htop even need python anymore? Good catch! Dropping every mention of python from the ebuild does succeed, but the verbose output still mentions "python" in a few places > checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/lib/portage/python3.12/ebuild-helpers/xattr/install -c I don't know if that is expected. I was rather expecting it to find `/usr/bin/install`. Then later the output contains: > /usr/lib/portage/python3.12/ebuild-helpers/xattr/install -c -m 644 htop.desktop '/var/tmp/portage/sys-process/htop-3.2.2/image/usr/share/applications' /usr/lib/portage/python3.12/ebuild-helpers/xattr/install -c -m 644 htop.svg '/var/tmp/portage/sys-process/htop-3.2.2/image/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps' /usr/lib/portage/python3.12/ebuild-helpers/xattr/install -c htop '/var/tmp/portage/sys-process/htop-3.2.2/image/usr/bin' /usr/lib/portage/python3.12/ebuild-helpers/xattr/install -c -m 644 htop.png '/var/tmp/portage/sys-process/htop-3.2.2/image/usr/share/pixmaps' /usr/lib/portage/python3.12/ebuild-helpers/xattr/install -c -m 644 htop.1 '/var/tmp/portage/sys-process/htop-3.2.2/image/usr/share/man/man1' But those only mention python, because that's the BSD-compatible `install` the configure script has discovered.
Those are internal implementation details of portage and work as long as portage is installed correctly with whichever PYTHON_COMPAT value portage is selected to use.
