bytecode compiled module problem, manual intervention needed
Good day! Rather inconvenient shortly after the release, but it just came to our attention that the line used for pep517 ports, to be precise the calls to the python module 'installer', have contained a flaw, causing untracked files on the filesystem. Please follow the commit message contained with python3-wheel or share other solutions to clean up untracked files. Maintainers that have affected ports are advised to check their ports and change, if needed. Best regards, Tim [1]: https://git.crux.nu/ports/opt/commit/a96c9627397ac65c1d257be3c591bc16b45a30e...

I have followed the procedure from the commit message and have updated all recently changed python ports. But I have still some untracked files left over: # pkg-not /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/ /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/flit_core/__pycache__ /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/flit_core/__pycache__/buildapi.cpython-312.pyc /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/flit_core/__pycache__/common.cpython-312.pyc /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/flit_core/__pycache__/config.cpython-312.pyc /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/flit_core/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-312.pyc /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/flit_core/__pycache__/sdist.cpython-312.pyc /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/flit_core/__pycache__/_spdx_data.cpython-312.pyc /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/flit_core/__pycache__/versionno.cpython-312.pyc /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/flit_core/__pycache__/wheel.cpython-312.pyc I have also noticed there are still many files in /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/. I have updated my installation from CRUX 3.7 to 3.8. Can that folder by deleted completely without loss of functionality? It has these folders with subfolders each: /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/Cython /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/_distutils_hack /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/glad /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/jinja2 /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/__pycache__ /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/yaml/ Regards Markus Heinz

It has these folders with subfolders each: Upgrade seems not to be supported as python and perl are in "core". So in the end it is around that i would think. But it would be easier if dependency tracking would finally be changed to include the core ports, too, imho.

In the meantime I already pushed an update to the port, this should be fixed now. Thanks for the report!

These can be safely deleted. Without the corresponding python version installed these do nothing for you. On an upside: these should all be the same type of untracked files like these we changed recently. So hopefully, a clean upgrade in the future will not leave you with a dangling python site-packages dir. Best regards, Tim

Thanks for the bugfix.

Thank you for confirmation.
