Bug 531638 – sys-libs/libse{linux,manage} install .py files without installing .py[co] files

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Jason Zaman 2014-12-04 10:26:00 UTC]

packages installing python files need to call python_optimize (when using python-utils-r1.eclass) or python_byte-compile_modules (when using python.eclass)

Failing to do this causes them to be generated randomly later which causes left over files or sandbox violations.

Before adding python_optimize:
# equery f libselinux | grep site-packages
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/selinux
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/selinux/__init__.py
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/selinux/_selinux.so
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/selinux/audit2why.so
/usr/lib64/python3.4/site-packages
/usr/lib64/python3.4/site-packages/selinux
/usr/lib64/python3.4/site-packages/selinux/__init__.py
/usr/lib64/python3.4/site-packages/selinux/_selinux.so
/usr/lib64/python3.4/site-packages/selinux/audit2why.so


After adding python_optimize:
# equery f libselinux | grep site-packages
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/selinux
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/selinux/__init__.py

committed libse{manage,linux} 2.3 with a revbump and committing the 2.4-rc ones without a revbump since there will be a new RC any day now so we'll bump it then.

Manually unmasking the packages in the respective ebuilds, rengerating the portage snapshot, and rebuilding the stage 3 worked for me. 

real    296m43.447s
user    265m35.760s
sys     175m27.030s

Note: I did tell the stage3 build to purge, so it was starting from scratch.

Works for me!

There are a few other packages that install python but do not call python_optimize, reopening.

policycoreutils and sepolgen have been bumped and python_optimize has been added. that is all packages now.
