Before switching python_targets for the first time, you could use your |
| 28 |
news system to inform Gentoo users that |
| 29 |
1) you are switching python_targets |
| 30 |
2) it may be "a bit premature", |
| 31 |
and so, those who really want to have a stable Gentoo system should |
| 32 |
1) do such and such changes to their config files and |
| 33 |
2) wait about 3 months untill all the dust will settle. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
By the way, last time I have tried to set |
| 36 |
PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_5" |
| 37 |
PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_5" |
| 38 |
in my /etc/portage/make.conf |
| 39 |
and I got a vary strange errors from emerge afterwards: |
| 40 |
every time the |
| 41 |
# emerge --update --deep --with-bdeps=y --newuse --backtrack=120 --ask world |
| 42 |
command was run, a *new* package complained about something |
| 43 |
and system update aborted. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
I guess from that that the syntax of setting python_targets has been |
| 46 |
changed lately (may be, it should now be set only in package.use) |
| 47 |
but nobody informed Gentoo users about it. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
P.S. The said above together with the recent Gentoo signing key issue |
| 50 |
and sometimes "corrupted" daily portage snapshots that I download by |
| 51 |
emerge-webrsync make me think that even so called "stable" Gentoo |
| 52 |
lacks quality control and cannot be considered as stable and suted for |
| 53 |
those that really need a stable system. |
