12 years ago Right after line19 in boot-update-1.5.2.ebuild add a line to install boot-update modules for python3:
insinto /usr/lib/eselect python show --python2/site-packages
+insinto /usr/lib/eselect python show --python3/site-packages
cd ${S}/python/modules
then funtoo ~ # ebuild /usr/portage/sys-boot/boot-update/boot-update-1.5.4.ebuild digest funtoo ~ # emerge boot-update
Then, when you'll rerun kigen, you will encounter errors from boot-update about "invalid syntax" in raise. I suppose that if boot-update was updated to run under python3, kigen funtoo feature would work again (basically it uses boot-update API to read your /etc/boot.conf and merge the list of modules with the one you've configured in /etc/kigen/initramfs/modules.conf, no big deal if it has to wait for a python3 migration) Furthermore: funtoo ~ # head /sbin/boot-update -n1
!/usr/bin/python2
funtoo ~ #
Now, I won't let you down ;) so I've patched kigen so that it can get around this until drobbins has the time and will to make his great boot-update tool compatible with python 3. Normally when boot-update is updated to python3, kigen will see the boot-update API and will automatically add modules from /etc/boot.conf, until then it will not read your /etc/boot.conf. You could kindly ask if there is any plan to migrate boot-update to python3 :)
I have some trouble to install Kigen on my Funtoo Amd64 Unstable.
I instal python 3.2 (run python-updater and rebuild packages depending on python)
but I get this error /usr/sbin/kigen i --splash=emergence --source-disklabel --source-luks --bin-lvm2 --source-dropbear --debugflag --rootpasswd=* --keymaps=all --source-ttyecho --source-strace --source-screen --bin-glibc --bin-zlib --bin-libncurses --defconfig Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/kigen", line 100, in
