Bug 421687 – dev-python/pylint-0.28.0 - please stabilize

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description Mike Nerone 2012-06-18 07:14:45 UTC]

dev-python/pylint-0.25.1 has been in tree since 8 Feb 2012 (bug #401991). I see no bugs reported.

[Comment 1 Pacho Ramos 2013-08-21 09:53:54 UTC]

Also alpha, ia64, arm, ppc64 and sparc need an stable version  for totem-3.8.x

Arches, go ahead.

python team, are you ok with stabilizing them also? (both are maintained by you)

[Comment 6 Dirkjan Ochtman (RETIRED) 2013-08-26 11:21:47 UTC]

No. For one thing, logilab-common-0.60.0 hasn't been in the tree long enough.

Also, I recommend disabling any tests relying on pylint in totem (I hope that's the only place where they use it). The logilab stuff is a PITA to deal with.

[Comment 7 Pacho Ramos 2013-08-26 11:30:33 UTC]

Reviewing it again, looks like we can stick with current stable pylint version, but we need it stabilized in some more arches. Are you ok with that? Or is pylint going to drop its stable keywords soon?

The "gnome consumer" is:
media-video/totem/totem-3.8.2-r1.ebuild:	test? ( python? ( dev-python/pylint ) )


but, if we are going to disable it, we would need some rationale to add as a comment in ebuild too

[Comment 8 Dirkjan Ochtman (RETIRED) 2013-08-26 11:34:17 UTC]

The rationale is that pylint is a linting tool, and I think that doesn't make any sense to do on the distribution side. Linting tools are for developers; I guess they do linting in their CI setup to enforce some rules, but I don't think we get any value from linting their source code on every build.

Err.

CC back arches at proper time

[Comment 11 Pacho Ramos 2013-09-01 19:19:15 UTC]

No longer needed by totem
