This +may result in your package manager reporting file collisions. + +The respective symlinks were previously either unowned and created +dynamically by app-eselect/eselect-python, or installed by it. From now +on, all Python-related symlinks are installed and handled +by python-exec. This ensures that they respect the python-exec +configuration files and variables consistently with regular Python +packages, and improves their reliability. + +If you are using FEATURES=collision-protect, Portage will reject +the upgrade. If this is the case, please temporarily switch to +FEATURES=protect-owned for the upgrade. + +If you are using FEATURES=protect-owned, Portage will verbosely warn +about the file collisions but will proceed with the upgrade once +determining no replaced files are owned. Please disregard the warning. + +The potentially colliding files are: + + * /usr/bin/2to3 + * /usr/bin/idle + * /usr/bin/pydoc + * /usr/bin/python + * /usr/bin/python2 + * /usr/bin/python3 + * /usr/bin/python-config + +For more information on python-exec, please see: +https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Python/python-exec diff --git a/metadata/news/2017-01-21-python-exec-2-3-reclaims-python-symlinks/2017-01-21-python-exec-2-3-reclaims-python-symlinks.en.txt.asc b/metadata/news/2017-01-21-python-exec-2-3-reclaims-python-symlinks/2017-01-21-python-exec-2-3-reclaims-python-symlinks.en.txt.asc new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..081e5a9b3c8f --- /dev/null +++ b/metadata/news/2017-01-21-python-exec-2-3-reclaims-python-symlinks/2017-01-21-python-exec-2-3-reclaims-python-symlinks.en.txt.asc @@ -0,0 +1,18 @@ +-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- + +iQKTBAABCgB9FiEEbbsHzE8NrQbqCv5BsHoa6u+0Rk4FAliEac9fFIAAAAAALgAo +aXNzdWVyLWZwckBub3RhdGlvbnMub3BlbnBncC5maWZ0aGhvcnNlbWFuLm5ldDZE +QkIwN0NDNEYwREFEMDZFQTBBRkU0MUIwN0ExQUVBRUZCNDQ2NEUACgkQsHoa6u+0 +Rk5O5A//a+8jRsF3svf5ZQ5F5KNZzrjiovI7F0XN/jlV41R46b3LzCrDsDnTqLbf +7Rh1ZHPv+FAnHgYSjKLaqw+dxzGDQztg8iC4N9tOgPjRkB5wVFsOdtHpH1xwrh6o +TDcKlXd8917b3b0U6qKUMl35lV7vDN8XSrcSzoF1ha7vxRRLHVLGC3cJazGdKz4r +ZYeCSwVRX3QlzsMEnfTug0ayE76SFaqFpB6PPUSmYouRcxQHzR5HAr2x3tHLIz/S +PeDPCCflk6QNsQVZB95vj+HHhXExvw0yjleMrvrps//UR7tgcg8X0m2esmEjC5rd +FPeC3A+xCHeCV3lmsFCBfu+cWQr4X8Lpi3wGx5XO+eBDekzAJmbe1OJXA66m5tXy +N9z4zWSOq4d03nguhKHO94Gw8LnSGO7dABSdZSuVrFueBACkh/4dtWdycdG+wyos +oIS9uhlT1tV7QgL4I/77rxxPROLiqik/tVUsfyoDw9iEhemsH84JrlctmZc0zpAu +WrVr+klYl0M4nu8MUa43f3GiN+Lu9PNohIHEKeepPvrekG6yP4+GehQihEbp7gZS +DCe3zXlKvwUZxuPoEWtNHbM0AfcK/hce+n3hlIoNALeYWP18Fpf3iz8TaYZuyG71 +nRK1lqmrjm2fURpwau/E1mmGcYX1vBEL1Z9jspehH0QwYEABwQk= +=+2up +-----END PGP SIGNATURE----- |
