Description Sebastian Pipping gentoo-dev

Even after a previous successful run, python-updater updates these packages again:

[ebuild   R   ] dev-python/libgnomecanvas-python-2.28.1  USE="-examples" 0 kB
[ebuild   R   ] dev-python/gconf-python-2.28.1  USE="-examples" 0 kB
[ebuild   R   ] dev-python/gnome-vfs-python-2.28.1  USE="-doc -examples" 0 kB
[ebuild   R   ] dev-python/libbonobo-python-2.28.1  USE="-examples" 0 kB
[ebuild   R   ] dev-python/gtkmozembed-python-2.25.3  USE="-debug -doc" 0 kB
[ebuild   R   ] dev-python/libgnome-python-2.28.1  USE="-examples" 0 kB

It does so even when called with --disable-manual.  Is that expected?

There it is.

python-updater extracts RESTRICT_PYTHON_ABIS from ebuilds, but these ebuilds don't set RESTRICT_PYTHON_ABIS and instead inherit gnome-python-common.eclass, which sets RESTRICT_PYTHON_ABIS="3.*".

Possible solutions:
- Wait for a new EAPI containing appropriate features, which would allow to use USE flags to represent Python ABI dependencies. Then python-updater wouldn't be needed for packages supporting installation for multiple Python ABIs.
- Set RESTRICT_PYTHON_ABIS in ebuilds. It would be needed only in current EAPIs. gnome-python-common.eclass could still set RESTRICT_PYTHON_ABIS.

I think mass updating ebuilds to set eclass variables before inherit is the right thing to do.

The appropriate variables are not set in all latest ~arch ebuilds inheriting the eclass. Please reopen if I've missed anything. Thanks for reporting..
