Did you CC gentoo-dev? I cannot find the tread. > [example needed] > ?? I meant that not all tree ebuilds use the same python-eclass implementation which IS a problem.

Btw. could you give exact examples on how to convert widely used python ebuilds with your eclasses? E.g. dev-python/pygobject dev-python/setuptools or dev-libs/boost? How can I convert shebangs consistently and recursively? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJQZ16AAAoJEFpvPKfnPDWzzMgH/0dGzePj8eSrZ3OZDzwMYE3B Vx8BiD2Vd+OnGyq2w0infJpN8lDlGu+8yxGwWervZJ7tIxqabhQokI03tBSyLRgt em5R+AgSiR6GSiIRfMNoFYj+5zR8vz4gHtCzrI47O8W6R6e3fRj3JKShY7+T4Djz vBMyD4ZuxLg0CnvJ05rrc41CEvmAY/aWysS5WNoevdx8Jf8exaVtfp6TXGu/q+JV 7py4gFA5wXmb7UCv9Tcw0IxiglVAfEJRzvRh68TComBKWuUw0YhGd/x2VxaLZ0dr ghCt4XBjyi5g4q1rcDedEPowth1Q/9M6VpP6fT5ZTPVIs5r49G9vMcRymppWetM= =5M+2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
