[gentoo-dev] Releng breakage with respect to move from dev-python/python-exec to dev-lang/python-exec

[Anthony G. Basile]

Hi everyone,

This is a followup to a discussion on IRC yesterday regarding breakage 
that's occurring to catalyst builds as a result of the recent move from 
dev-python/python-exec to dev-lang/python-exec. The commit of the later 
were pushed into the tree with all KEYWORDS marked stable using repoman 
--force [1].  In catalyst runs where stage1's are built from stage3's 
this leads to the following blockage:

     [ebuild N ] sys-devel/automake-1.13.4 to /tmp/stage1root/
     [ebuild N ] sys-fs/eudev-1.1 to /tmp/stage1root/ USE="-doc -gudev 
-hwdb -introspection -keymap -kmod -modutils -openrc -rule-generator 
(-selinux) -static-libs {-test}"
     [ebuild N ] virtual/udev-200 to /tmp/stage1root/ USE="-gudev -hwdb 
-introspection -keymap -kmod (-selinux) -static-libs"
     [blocks B ] <dev-python/python-exec-10000 
("<dev-python/python-exec-10000" is blocking dev-lang/python-exec-0.3.1)

I was only able to solve this by manually chrooting and running the following

     emerge --unmerge python-exec
     ROOT=/ emerge dev-lang/python-exec

I have to do this on 12 stage3's which is work.

Can I please ask the python team to be more careful and announce such 
commits beforehand so they can be assessed by the community.
