- 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
Created attachment 292931 [details, diff] ebuild patch
(In reply to comment #1) This package doesn't support Python 3. Shebang in a script needs to be fixed.
Created attachment 293269 [details, diff] revised ebuild patch cannot figure the shebang, tried
(In reply to comment #3) python_convert_shebangs() function is used to convert shebangs in scripts.
Created attachment 293401 [details, diff] revised ebuild patch I figured it, perseverance wins again >>> Emerging (1 of 1) dev-util/ciabot-svn-1.15 >>> Installing (1 of 1) dev-util/ciabot-svn-1.15
(In reply to comment #5) Add 'python_set_active_version 2' in pkg_setup(). Since this package requires Python 2, pass "2" instead of "3" to python_convert_shebangs(). If you want to call python_convert_shebangs() at the end of src_install(), then pass "${ED}" instead of "." to python_convert_shebangs().

+ 06 May 2012; Pacho Ramos <pacho@gentoo.org> ciabot-svn-1.15.ebuild: + Let it work with python3 as main interpreter. +
