Title Python 3.1
Author Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis
Posted 2010-03-25
Revision 1

Python 3 is a new major version of Python and is intentionally incompatible
with Python 2. Many external modules have not been ported yet to Python 3,
so Python 2 still needs to be installed. You can benefit from having Python 3
installed without setting Python 3.1 as main active version of Python.
Currently you should not set Python 3.1 as main active version of Python.
When setting it becomes recommended, a separate news item will be created
to notify users.

Although Python 3.1 should not be set as main active version of Python,
you should run python-updater after installation of Python 3.1. By default,
modules that support both Python 2 and Python 3 are installed for both
the active version of Python 2 and the active version of Python 3 when both
Python 2 and Python 3 are installed.

It is recommended to use a UTF-8 locale to avoid potential problems. Especially
C and POSIX locales are discouraged. If locale has not been explicitly set,
then POSIX locale is used, so you should ensure that locale has been set.
Problems occurring only with non-UTF-8 locales should be reported directly
to upstream developers of given packages.
See http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/utf-8.xml for more information about UTF-8.

Title --as-needed enabled in default profiles

Revision 1

-Wl,--as-needed has been added to the default profile's LDFLAGS.

This option optimizes the linking process, only linking binaries to
libraries that are trully needed. This way, fewer libraries are loaded
at runtime and fewer packages need to be rebuilt after library updates.

To take advantage of the new default you can either rebuild world now
or just allow the system to migrate incrementally as it updates.

Please note that setting LDFLAGS="" in your make.conf will
override the profile defaults. If you want to add additional LDFLAGS
it is recommended to use LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS} " instead to
avoid this.

For more information on --as-needed, read [1].
