Hi everyone, |
| 2 |
Rebuilding python modules after a python upgrade is a pita. In addition |
| 3 |
to that it's not easy to determine what needs to be rebuilt and what |
| 4 |
not. We have even ended up keeping a manual list of packages in |
| 5 |
python-updater. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
To make this situation less ugly, i have added a new function called |
| 8 |
python_need_rebuild to python.eclass. This is a simple functions that |
| 9 |
exports an environment variable which marks that the package has to be |
| 10 |
rebuilt after a python upgrade. This way python-updater can accurately |
| 11 |
find out what needs to be rebuilt. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Packages using distutils_src_install don't need any modifications. For |
| 14 |
other packages I've opened a tracker bug¹. The usage is simple, just |
| 15 |
call python_need_rebuild without arguments in src_install. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
And be ready for faster and more accurate python upgrades :) |
