Feature changed by: Karl Cheng (qantas94heavy) Feature #311176, revision 6 Title: add pypy - a faster python implementation - openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed + Package Wishlist: New Priority - Requester: Important + Requester: Desirable Requested by: Di Pe (dipe) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: pypy is (almost) fully compatible to python 2.5 but it can execute your unmodified Python code 5-15 times faster than the standard cPython. For benefits see here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/PyPyStack It takes more than 1 hour to build on a fast machine ....so providing a nice rpm package would make sense pypy has been around for a very long time but only now it has a 64 bit JIT compiler Discussion: #1: Di Pe (dipe) (2011-01-30 20:37:46) I tried to use the build service for this to submit the package but it seemed to end up in an infinite loop. Was able to build successfully on 11.3, these are my notes: sudo zypper -n in python-devel python-curses libffi-devel zlib-devel libbz2-devel ncurses-devel libexpat-devel openssl-devel valgrind-devel gc-devel prelink download http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/pypy/1.4.1/3.fc15/src/pypy-1.4.1-... rpmbuild --rebuild pypy-1.4.1-3.fc15.src.rpm cancel the build after the first few error messages edit /usr/src/packages/SPECS/pypy.spec and replace Buildrequires: bzip2-devel Buildrequires: expat-devel with Buildrequires: libbz2-devel Buildrequires: libexpat-devel Buildrequires: prelink and set %global with_stackless 1 cd /usr/lib64 ln -s libncurses.a libcurses.a cd /usr/lib ln -s libncurses.a libcurses. a rpmbuild -ba /usr/src/packages/SPECS/pypy.spec -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311176
