I'll check what other distributions do and will ask on the boost.build mailing list, but if my queries don't turn up substancial info I'm not going to implement this but rather wait for the time that python3 is the default. And as this isn't a bug but a feature. please open a feature on features.opensuse.org. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I took the approach from Arch Linux and a patch from Debian that is needed for building the mpi library with Python3 and put that into a branch of devel:libraries:c_c++/boost. You can find my version at https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:mhamann:branches:devel:librarie..., it works for me on openSUSE 13.1. However the build fails on openSUSE 12.2, I guess this is because of a wrong Python include directory. Furthermore I also needed to name the library package libboost_python3-%{lib_appendix} (note the dash) in order to not to get an error from Rpmlint because the package name does not match the library name. I'm also wondering a bit why the boost MPI library used Python3 includes but the package only includes a Python(2) library. As I'm rather new to packaging in general and openSUSE in particular I would like to get your advice on how to properly solve these issues or you could of course also just fix that yourself and merge my changes. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
