[arch-general] no python3 package?
I'm glad Arch did the python3 transition and I agree with python3 being the default version (i.e. having 'python' symlink to 'python3.x'). But what's the reason for no longer having a package named 'python3' with a symlink to 'python3.x'? It would make (/have made) the transition a little easier, no? Any harm done in providing it?

I have no idea what you are talking about...
pacman -Ss python3 testing/python 3.1.2-2 [installed] Next generation of the python high-level scripting language community/python3 3.1.2-4 Next generation of the python high-level scripting language
Note that testing/python will replace the community/python3 once it moves to [extra]. Allan

Argh... sorry for not checking things properly first... It's just that when I tried to update my packages (includer AUR) I saw this: :: Replace python3 with testing/python? [Y/n] resolving dependencies... looking for inter-conflicts... error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: pyqt-py3and2: requires python3>=3.1 :: sip-py3and2: requires python3>=3.1 ...and just assumed that meant 'python3' was set to disappear.

Hmm... I probably should have added a version to the provides line in the python package. Currently it only provides "python3" and not a version so the versioned deps in those AUR packages are causing issues. I'll get around to that before this exits [testing].... Allan

Yes, that makes sense. Thank you for your quick responses and solution. Ang

Um... did you perhaps not get around to it? :: Replace python3 with extra/python? [Y/n] error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: pyqt-py3and2: requires python3>=3.1 :: sip-py3and2: requires python3>=3.1

Those are AUR packages, you need to ask their maintainers in the AUR to make the necessary changes. -- Mauro Santos

Learn2read, please. I was given the impression that this was going to be solved with the python package: On Thu, Oct 7, 2010 at 1:49 PM, Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org> wrote:

Note the part: "I'll get around to that before this exits [testing]"...
