Bug 308291 – app-arch/cfv: Verify and potentially improve Python-related code

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) 2010-03-07 17:06:29 UTC]

- If this package could support installation for multiple versions of Python,
  then please try to adjust the ebuilds to support it.
- Ensure that the ebuilds do not use deprecated functions or variables.
- Please check if Python 3 is supported by this package.
- If this package does not support Python 3:
  - Specify dependency on Python 2.
    You can use PYTHON_DEPEND helper variable, which should be set before
    inheriting of python eclass.
  - If this package cannot support installation for multiple versions of
    Python, then set active version of Python using
    python_set_active_version().
  - Ensure that shebangs in installed scripts specify correct version of
    Python. If shebangs are too generic (e.g. '#!/usr/bin/python'), then you
    can use python_convert_shebangs() to convert shebangs.
    (Wrapper scripts generated by python_generate_wrapper_scripts() do not
    require any changes.)

Please see documentation [1] for more details.

ebuild patch

can't emerge in python 2.5
Otherwise tested, all AOK.  Usual bump to EAFI 3.

Portage itself requires Python >=2.6 and it has no relation to Python version
required by other packages. If you install sys-apps/portage with USE="python3",
then you will be able to set active version of Python 2 to 2.4 or 2.5 and still
use Portage (Portage will use active version of Python 3 regardless of active
version of Python 2).

Use PYTHON_DEPEND="2".
Such pkg_setup() is not needed.

Shebang in /usr/bin/cfv should be fixed.

(In reply to comment #7)

In cfv-1.18.3.ebuild, dependency on Python will be specified using PYTHON_DEPEND, so dev-lang/python in explicit RDEPEND is not needed.
