Description Fabien Fivaz 2004-03-02 07:00:20 UTC

I had Python 2.2 installed. After running an emerge -u, Python 2.3 was installed. But, for instance, wxPython did not work anymore with Python 2.3 (it had been installed along Python 2.2). I had to remerge wxPython. Could it be possible to do it automatically? I.e. to remerge installed Python things when upgrading to a new "major" version?

so how about reading einfo messages from emerge and ebuilds ?

        ewarn
        ewarn "If you have just upgraded from python-2.2.x you will need to run:
"
        ewarn
        ewarn "/usr/sbin/python-updater"
        ewarn
        ewarn "This will automatically rebuild all the python dependent modules"
        ewarn "to run with python-2.3."

Sorry. By the way, when emerge updates some 30+ packages, I don't have time to read all the ewarnings, and sometimes, it goes at such a speed that I haven't enough time to read them, even if I'm looking at it :-)
