PyPy3 binpkg #193

Open perkinslr opened 3 years ago

PyPy3 works as the interpreter for portage, and, combined with portage-3.0, cuts the average time to process the dependency tree by 50% (PyPy3 or portage-3.0 individually each cut about 20% off the time). Unfortunately, upstream only provides binary builds for pypy3 for x86 and x86_64, and the time required to build pypy3 on a raspberry pi is long (like, it's still working on it on mine, with a distcc build host, and it's been several hours). It would be nice if your binpkg mirror had a copy, as the time savings for portage is likely to be quite significant.

30 Oct 2020: sadly, due legal obligations arising from a recent change in my 'real world' job, I must announce I am standing down as maintainer of this project with immediate effect. For the meantime, I will leave the repo up (for historical interest, and since the images may be of use still in certain applications); however, there will be no further updates to the underlying binhost etc., nor will I be accepting / actioning further pull requests or bug reports from this point. Email requests for support will also have to be politely declined, so, please treat this as an effective EOL notice.

For further details, please see my post here.

Many thanks for your interest in this project!

With sincere apologies, sakaki ><
