1 # MayaVi requires Python 2, at the same time depending on IPython
2 # which removed Python 2 support. The current Gentoo version is
3 # from 2016 and has not been bumped. It fails with various versions
4 # of sci-libs/vtk (#624082, #663152).
5 #
6 # ETS is a suite of NIH packages that have no reverse dependencies
7 # except for MayaVi and Py2.7 support in recently added
8 # dev-python/construct. The packages were added without a dedicated
9 # maintainer and were incidentally updated since. Some of them have
10 # various unsolved issues including segfaults (#654090), bundled
11 # libraries (#450466), semi-broken ebuilds (#678042).
12 #
13 # Removal in 30 days. Bug #672412.
