- If this package can be used as a library and installs Python modules (*.so or *.py) into site-packages directories, then consider supporting installation for multiple Python versions. Please read section "Types of packages" in documentation [1] to decide if this package can support installation for multiple Python versions. - 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. Please read section "Specification of dependency on Python" in documentation [1]. - 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.) Please read section "Shebangs in installed scripts" in documentation [1]. - 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. [1] http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/Python/developersguide.xml
I've retired as a gentoo dev; reassigning to herd.
Created attachment 294063 [details, diff] ebuild patch usr/bin/repcacheman.py only suppprts python{2.6 2.7}. You might want to change the option for not python{2.6 2.7}
In bug #339079. there seems to be a problem with python-2.6. So I would make it depend on python-2.7+ and hope it will not break with 2.8.

(In reply to comment #4) > (In reply to comment #3) > > http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0404/ Great! So it is 2.7 only. I will push a update in 3.0-r2 (will fix #411083 as well) together with a fix to ignore egit-src in distfiles and the fix from bug #362697. Any strong opinions against it?
Added 3.0-r3 to the tree.
