Bug 311183 – app-emulation/ganeti: Verify and potentially improve Python-related code

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) 2010-03-24 19:33:06 UTC]

- If this package can be used as a library and installs Python modules
  (*.so or *.py) into directories specific to given versions of Python,
  then consider supporting installation for multiple Python versions.
  Please read section "Types of packages" in documentation [1].

- 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.

  - 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.)

  - 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.

Created attachment 294159 [details, diff]
ebuild patch

Almost missed the ecripts in /usr//sbin.  
Does it not warrant RESTRICT_PYTHON_ABIS="2.[45]"?

[Comment 2 Adam Tygart 2012-12-14 04:22:05 UTC]

Not sure if this is the right bug report to handle this, but because simplejson (a required dependency of Ganeti) doesn't currently support python 3, Gentoo should force python2 for the configure/compile of Ganeti so that it properly finds its dependencies.

[Comment 3 Lance Albertson (RETIRED) 2012-12-24 07:37:17 UTC]

Fixed in 2.5.2-r2 and 2.6.2.

[Comment 4 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2012-12-24 16:23:30 UTC]

Code in app-emulation/ganeti-2.6.2 violates metadata invariance.

I think I know what you're referring to but can you please clarify where it violates it?

Never mind, I just noticed the new bug you created for this in #448432.
