From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: aduskett at gmail.com Date: Sat, 15 Dec 2018 15:29:37 -0500 Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] dependencies.sh: Check for a host python version >= 2.7 Message-ID: <20181215202937.81372-1-aduskett@gmail.com> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: buildroot@busybox.net From: Adam Duskett Older distributions such as CentOS6 come with python2.6, which causes build failures in packages such as host-libglib2 because they require python2.7 or above. CentOS6 does have the centos-release-scl which allows users to install python2.7, making this transition reasonably easy. Debian 6 and 7 have reached EOL, and Debian 8 comes with Python 2.7, so this patch should be relatively low impact.
