hi, sys-devel/automake would to depend on python:2.7 if and only if "test" are enabled.
For the tast it inherit python-any-r1 eclass than depend conditionally with test? ( ${PYTHON_DEPS} )" Additionally the ebuild call python_setup() in src_test() However this does not work, because eclass python-any-r1_pkg_setup() call python_setup() itself and automake ebuild does NOT define it's own pkg_setup() (thus python-any-r1 pkg setup is used). Result is that with no python:2.7 installed ebuild will fail, always both with test enabled or disabled. I've realized all this after bug https://bugs.gentoo.org/648940 was closed, that discussion didn't go very well, so I'd like to ask before opening a different bug It's correct to ask the maintainer to define pkg_setup() in automake ebuild? if so should it be empty like: pkg_setup() { : } or it should contain default like pkg_setup() { default } or another solution is preferred? Thanks in advance, Francesco (vivo)
