A newer Python is unfortunately not a job of packaging but more of porting. There are several issues when trying to compile a recent Python. If you want to take a look and bring the issues upstream it would really help getting a newer Python package. Apart from that the buildfarm is slowly decaying by bitrot and I don?t have the time to fix everything. So please take my apologies for the webpage not working properly and the connection issues.

Let me know if there is interest. I?m a big Python fan, so I?m working toward having a complete enough set of python tools to accomplish all the things I?m interested in. This would indeed be interesting! Are you building your packages with GAR? That is a close to a requirement because the packages must also conform to a special structure so the OpenCSW infrastructure can process them. Best regards ?

Message-ID: Hello Dago, I think I am using GAR, but I need to double check that I built with gar for all of the packages. Initially, I spent a lot of time trying to build with Solaris Studio 12.4, but I found that most code assumes GNU compilers and tools these days, so I gave up on that. Thus, I am building with the gcc-5.5, g++5.5, gfortran-5.5 compilers and toolchain from OpenCSW, using mcpu=ultrasparc or ultrasparc3. Most of the builds weren?t too difficult, although I did have to modify source code slightly in a few places. SDL2 has been the most complicated to date. -Jon From: Dagobert Michelsen Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2024 00:33 To: Questions and discussions Cc: Jonathan Cox ; buildfarm Subject: Re: Interest in a few modern python-and SDL2-related packages?
