 |
|
Some packages runs only with python3_9 but their ebuild does not have python_targets_python3_9 anymore.
What's the philosophy here?
To completely remove older package variants? |

Well, yt-dlp on certain websites.
But does gentoo (and other linux) really remove older packages from repos? |

yt-dlp errors claiming that for a website, python 3.9 is required? Can you post the output (exclude references to the site if need be)? I'm just really curious to see the error. Does yt-dlp upstream claim that 3.9 is required? If not, that seems like a bug for them.

If a package is no longer supported upstream, I don't see why it should remain in the tree (a few exceptions may happen but should not be the rule).

yt-dlp works just fine with 3_10 and 3_11, not currently aware of any usage that'd require 3_9 with it. Albeit some scarcely used and/or badly tested extractors having a bad case of python bitrot sound plausible, should check with upstream if so.
We're not talking original youtube-dl, right? Despite upstream being active again, it's focusing on old pythons and even trying to keep 2.7 support among other quirks like (still) not making releases with the 2021 one being very broken.
Edit: If you really need 3.9 for whatever reason, the interpreter itself is still available in ::gentoo and you can use it with python venvs. |
