Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-03-24 19:35:10 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.

Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2010-03-24 20:51:13 UTC
it's a "binary" commercial package, so i'm not inclined to "fix" anything about it.  unless there's an actual problem here instead of "nice to have" improvements, nothing is going to change.

if there are actual bugs, i'd just punt the package.
Comment 2 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-03-24 21:45:21 UTC
If this package supports only Python 2, then you should only fix dependencies.
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2010-03-29 05:54:03 UTC
i really have no idea

tree-cleaners: please punt this as it needs a maintainer of sorts
