I attempted the same over the last couple of days as I was thinking "It's |
6 |
going anyway, why not get a head start?". I had to do the following: |
7 |
|
8 |
* Remove metagen |
9 |
* Remove rr |
10 |
* Update kodi and related packages to 9999 (I know they are working on |
11 |
getting their 19.0 package out asap because of the 2.7 EOL) |
12 |
* Update clang and related packages to 9.0.0 |
13 |
* Remove python dependency in libdbusmenu (it's not needed, PR here: |
14 |
https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/13790) |
15 |
* Port gnome-doc-utils to python3 ( |
16 |
https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/13791) |
17 |
* Remove qt-creator as it depends on clang 8, changing USE to -clang would |
18 |
also work but not really using it anyway atm |
19 |
* Remove gconf dep from discord-bin ( |
20 |
https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/13793) |
21 |
* Remove gconf dep from spotify (https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/13794 |
22 |
) |
23 |
* Update gcr to 3.34.0 (https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/13798) |
24 |
* Unmask a number of other packages that luckily did have updated versions |
25 |
available: samba, talloc, javatoolkit, tdb, tevent, ldb, itstool, |
26 |
dropbox-cli, nodejs |
27 |
* Unmerge typing (now provided by python package) |
28 |
* Reinstall m2crypto, python-typing, scons |
29 |
* Reinstall crda with patch in https://bugs.gentoo.org/693728 |
30 |
* Manually fix some packages that were not being selected for emerge by -N: |
31 |
m2crypto, virtual/python-typing, typing, scons |
32 |
|
33 |
Unfortunately I was not able to completely purge python2.7 from my system. |
34 |
The base package is still installed as it is required to build qtwebkit, |
35 |
qtwebengine, zziplib, firefox and spidermonkey. At least however I am now |
36 |
running with -python_targets_python2_7 so there's that. |
