Description sanomiad 2024-06-02 02:11:48 UTC
Today's gentoo update is hell. Trying to update my system as usual and I spent over an hour trying to satisfy emerge nagging about PYTHON_TARGETS and PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET in addition to multiple pkgs unmasking that go into zz-autounmask.

How can we fix this?

You can wait for straggler packages to be ported or fallback to py3.11 (as the news item describes) for now. You can also file bugs if bugs don't already exist for packages (although most should have one already).

I did read it, and since I don't use PYTHON_TARGETS in make.conf, I left it alone to auto-handle the changes. I guess a manual change is still required. Also, I can't find answer to setting the global flags when using a package.use folder not file!

You can put it in /etc/portage/package.use/python or any filename in there (filename is just for your benefit).

Thanks, Sam.

No problem. I'm working on checking out remaining big py3.12 packages and sorting them out too. Bare with...
