And to pacify all the cry babies out there could we update portage tools to |
| 11 |
call /usr/bin/python2.6 directly? (yes I realise this will break, but at least |
| 12 |
it is a suggestion) Or how about we (remove python3.1 from the menu)/(stick |
| 13 |
a big fat warning message)/(do something else) on eselect-python. Or create a |
| 14 |
"system-python" link that all gentoo core apps use instead of /usr/bin/python |
| 15 |
(longer term solution?). [rant]Hell maybe we could even start using those |
| 16 |
slot dep thingy me bobbies to depend only a slot. So ppl don't have python3.1 |
| 17 |
unless something depends on it. Does portage have support for slots in world? |
