Aaaand none of my packages that are installed "want" to use it. That's what= I'm sayin'. Maybe if I ran ~arch they'd ask for Python 3.x, but I run stab= le, so *nothing* wants to use it. Every other stable user is in the same si= tuation. You seem to be ignoring us, the stable users, in favor of rushing = 3.x out of ~arch, like that makes some kind of perceived problem go away. > It does > not mean everyone should have it installed, which is what it appears > you think it means. Yet that's the net effect -- everyone *will* have it installed. . . unless = folks start getting crafty with pseudo version ranges, as Zac mentioned. --Sig_/xOzvRYISELuDXm8/hA6FWdF Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkuQ2ZcACgkQxPWMzpKk6kN7CACfRy4iqvOJZ5qbjX6OfJO4ZRLm RicAoInTupLZ6z2ycfcZ+i3xFPRit0Hk =dszR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/xOzvRYISELuDXm8/hA6FWdF--
