PYTHON_TARGETS and python-updater ?

cwc

Can I remove python-updater or will it be removed automatically?

I've done a couple of world updates and noticed python-updater will be removed.
It looks like nothing needs to be done with /etc/portage/make.conf and /etc/portage/package.use/
and everything will be done with eseslect and emerge --changed-use

# Mike Gilbert <floppym@gentoo.org> (13 Nov 2017)
# python-updater is obsolete. Utilize PYTHON_TARGETS and
# emerge --changed-use to rebuild packages instead.
# Removal in 30 days.

To prepare for this I read: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Python/PYTHON_TARGETS
defaulted in profiles and can be changed in make.conf.

Thanks

If you don't need to eanble some "strange" configuration of python, portage usually manage python stuff in a transparent manner.

I had python-updater installed and was never successful to use it to fix any issues before portage started doing a better job updating python (and perl) now... It was depcleaned last year according to my logs.
