When I merged in the spython package, it gave me a warning that |
| 4 |
sys-devel/spython is required. I merged dev-lang/python in, and |
| 5 |
unmerged spython, and just symlinked /usr/bin/python to spython, and |
| 6 |
everything seems to be working perfectly. I've been thinking, since |
| 7 |
the python and spython packages have alot of overlap, we could either |
| 8 |
make python and spython mutually exclusive (or make dev-lang/python an |
| 9 |
"upgrade" to spython), or we could make spython search in |
| 10 |
/usr/lib/spython2.0 as opposed to /usr/lib/python2.0. This would |
| 11 |
create a lot of identical files on the filesystem, but that way, at |
| 12 |
least if you merged in the dev-lang/python, and then unmerged it, you |
| 13 |
wouldn't remove all the files in sys-devel/python. In fact, I think |
| 14 |
the latter would be a great solution. That way, you can have the |
| 15 |
statically linked spython and regular python installed simultaneously |
| 16 |
w/o having any overlap (which is a big pet peeve of mine), and not |
| 17 |
have problems created by merging/unmerging dev-lang/python. I can try |
| 18 |
and hack the spython package to get this to work, if you want. |
