Description Benjamin Schulz 2024-08-12 04:27:01 UTC
Hi, i currently want to run mostly a stable system.
gentoo switched by default to python 3.12.

Unfortunately, the browser falkon does not support that python standard. It wants python 3.11. And if I unmask it, I seem to get many more incompatibilities.

This is a bit problematic, when the distro standard for python is often only supported with masked packages.

to be more precisely, 

ww-client/falkon-23.08.5::gentoo USE="X dbus kde python -debug -test" ABI_X86="(64)" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="-python3_10 -python3_11"

  The following REQUIRED_USE flag constraints are unsatisfied:
    python? ( exactly-one-of ( python_single_target_python3_10 python_single_target_python3_11 ) )



I do not think that this should be so. Most stable packages should at least support the current system-wide python standard.

We can't always get what we want. pyside2 and shiboken2 will likely never support python 3.12.

~www-client/falkon-23.08.5 python_single_target_python3_11
dev-python/pyside2 python_targets_python3_11
dev-python/shiboken2 python_targets_python3_11

Luckily, falkon-24.05.2 stabilisation is just around the corner.

^ this is set in profile, fwiw, so unless you override PYTHON targets, it should just work on a stable system.
