I suggest removing the python dependency in libglade. libglade doesn't really use python, it just has some obscure script (libglade-convert) that converts *.glade files from old libglade versions. Other packages have such perl/python scripts, too, yet they don't depend on perl/python. E.g.: gtk-builder-convert in x11-libs/gtk+. + 08 Nov 2010; Gilles Dartiguelongue <eva@gentoo.org> libglade-2.6.4.ebuild: + Fix support for python interpreter not being python 2, bug #313451. Pin + glib and gtk+ to slot 2. Should be fine now, please tell us if you want something more than current patch. Thanks for reporting. |
- If this package can be used as a library and installs Python modules (*.so or *.py) into site-packages directories, then consider supporting installation for multiple Python versions. Please read section "Types of packages" in documentation [1] to decide if this package can support installation for multiple Python versions. - Ensure that the ebuilds do not use deprecated functions or variables. - Please check if Python 3 is supported by this package. You can temporarily set Python 3 as main active version of Python to properly test if this package supports Python 3. - 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. Please read section "Specification of dependency on Python" in documentation [1]. - 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 read section "Shebangs in installed scripts" in documentation [1]. - To ensure that changes applied to the ebuilds are sufficient, please temporarily set Python 3 as main active version of Python and test if this package can be properly installed and if it works at run time. Please see documentation [1] for more details. [1] http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/Python/developersguide.xml
