Hi all,

I am in the process of moving the python rebuild into the [testing] and [community-testing] repositories. Finally!! Modestly, we (more or less) did a great job here.

There are still a few packages that need rebuilt (the various openoffice incarnations and virtualbox-ose) so if you desperately need them you may want to hold off updating.  Other than those packages, this will hopefully be a nice smooth update...  I hear some TUs have been running the [staging] repo (which I personally think is crazy!)

Ehm...see my pacman log: [2010-09-11 14:01] installed python2 (2.7-1) [2010-09-11 14:01] upgraded dbus-python (0.83.1-1 -> 0.83.1-2) [...] -- andreascarpino.it Arch Linux Developer

Current status: The python rebuild seems to have gone reasonably well overall with few breakages. We currently have the following bugs open for the rebuild: FS#21064 - [wicd] breaks with current testing FS#21076 - python-configobj needs rebuild (for python3/2.7 change in testing) FS#21088 - [weechat] should have python2 instead of python in the optdepends FS#21130 - avant-window-navigator applets still points to python3 The main issue here is the wicd one (the others are simple fixes/rebuilds). Rémy has provided a patch which is reported to work (with an addition), but I guess we are waiting on upstream to comment. Allan

If nothing major happens in the next two days, I will move this to the main repos on Thursday.

I did a "tar tf | grep python2\\\.6" directly on community packages: * can someone look at the updating of package file lists for community/community-testing and re-enable it if possible ? * it seems the following pakages need a rebuild - bpython - buildbot-slave - everygui - gnofract4d - gtk-recordmydesktop - lastfmsubmitd - mapnik - mitter - pacupdate - paraview - pessulus - pycddb - pympc - pyroom - pysfml - python-decorator - python-pyparallel - python-pyserial - qtorrent - sk1libs - spyder - vtk I opened a tracker bug for that : https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/21204 Can you also check for binary incompatibilities in your pygtk modules ? You basicaly need to run readelf -p .rodata $file | grep _PyGtk_API on all binary libraries shipped with a package depending on pygtk. The result should be "gtk._gtk._PyGtk_API" and not "_PyGtk_API". -- Rémy.

File lists are now there if you want to double check your list of rebuilds. Allan

Both of these are cleared out now. -- Rémy.
