Hi everyone, Rebuilding python modules after a python upgrade is a pita. In addition to that it's not easy to determine what needs to be rebuilt and what not. We have even ended up keeping a manual list of packages in python-updater.
To make this situation less ugly, i have added a new function called python_need_rebuild to python.eclass. This is a simple functions that exports an environment variable which marks that the package has to be rebuilt after a python upgrade. This way python-updater can accurately find out what needs to be rebuilt. Packages using distutils_src_install don't need any modifications. For other packages I've opened a tracker bug¹. The usage is simple, just call python_need_rebuild without arguments in src_install. And be ready for faster and more accurate python upgrades :) ¹: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=244555 -- Regards, Ali Polatel
