I wouldn't recommend doing that: it could lead to execute python2 code with python3, but many python2 scripts cannot be run with python3. I'm not sure what to do with harfbuzz, but I guess Python2 should be in optional deps (to run tests). In any case, the link above should be only temporary for running harfbuz tests. Another possibility is to issue: --- find . -name \*.py | xargs sed -i 's/env python/&3/' --- Pierre -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
