[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello I'm opening another thread ( old one was 
http://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/38128 ) to build boost in core-updates 
with python3. The new patch also parameterizes python versions across 
the package definition.

WDYT?

Bye,

Giacomo

I'm not sure how to send a patch for core-updates, I never did it so I 
attached it here. Please tell me if I should open another patch.

The patch builds boost with python3 and parameterizes the python 
version, as Efraim suggested. I built it successfully on core updates. 
When I tried building Epour on core-updates and saw that Guix was 
starting to build Bash 5.0 I renounced (:D) and I built it on master 
with boost-with-python3 .

Libtorrent-rasterbar seems to build fine on master but some tests fail 
to pass and they all seem to be network related but then again this is 
torrent we are talking about. I didn't investigate further but I attach 
the log.

I also tried boost-with-python3 with Malmo ( 
https://github.com/microsoft/malmo ) and it seemed to compile fine just 
but that package has other problems such as trying to start gradle so I 
nerver managed to actually run it.

Let me know what you think about the patch,

Bye

Giacomo
