The nvidia-firmware package uses the script extract_firmware.py which depends on python 2.7. Luckily, someone already looked at this from an upstream perspective, so maybe we can replace the script by an updated one. Original Issue (Python2 dep): https://github.com/imirkin/re-vp2/issues/4 PR for an updated script: https://github.com/imirkin/re-vp2/pull/7 Current home of the updated script file: https://github.com/envytools/firmware Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Mask python2.7 2. emerge -1 nvidia-firmware 3. cannot emerge due to dependencies Actual Results: nvidia-firmware tries to pull in python 2.7 Expected Results: duh. nvidia-firmware does NOT try to pull in python 2.7, but something newer. Suggestion for a solution are included in the description
Blocks python3 tracker bug
I've compared the original script, the preliminary one from the pull request and the current master blob. Results: 1. broken 2. runs but fails at extracting 3. works as intended, no error messages Patch incoming
Created attachment 648230 [details, diff] Patch of original ebuild to r1 Please note: the patch keeps the filename nvidia_extract_firmware.py, I don't know wether that's a good idea.
ping.
Created attachment 655504 [details, diff] patch of original to 340.108 I suggest to: - keep original author and use https://github.com/envytools/firmware (see https://github.com/imirkin/re-vp2/pull/7) - use extractor version instead of nvidia version in filename - update to nvidia 340.108 as it's the latest supported
