Dear FreeIPA developers and packagers,
you can find first version of the Build system refactoring design document on:
http://www.freeipa.org/page/V4/Build_system_refactoring
If you do not care about implementation details, please be so kind and quickly
scan through chapter
http://www.freeipa.org/page/V4/Build_system_refactoring#Feature_Management
I'm not an FreeIPA packager so I might miss some important thing which needs
to be configurable.
1) There should be a --with-python switch to select the version of Python to
use in our command line tools and/or during build. The default would be
"python", i.e. the default Python interpreter found in the path.
Okay. Can we pick some descriptive name?
--with-default-python
or
--with-<something-else>-python?
I think that it would be confusing if we had just
--with-python
--with-python2
--with-python3
--with-python=/path/to/python.binary is enough. We have the same in
Samba where a secondary build against another python interpreter is
regulated with '--extra-python' pointing to the Python's executable.
Besides that, I would make --with-default-python to accept either "2" or "3"
(and thus use path specified by --with-python? option).
I don't think we need --with-default-python=2|3 at all. Once you have a
Python binary, you can discover the flavor in the code:
$ python -c 'import sys; print sys.version_info.major'
