Hi David,
Hi
i proceeded with refining my changes, moving all code related to writing these dumps out of lib_pypy
Thanks
i'd like to know why you are relocating lib_pypy/lib-python
I am slowly integrating pypy into FreeBSD Port's Collection, with the eventual goal of installing third party python based ports (i.e. setup.py and such). FreeBSD follows a standard (I think) posix directory layout. As such I wanted the pypy binary to live in $PREFIX/bin and the libraries in $PREFIX/lib. The convention for cPython is to have the libraries as $PREFIX/lib/python2.7, so for pypy I wanted to have $PREFIX/lib/pypy1.9 (although I did consider $PREFIX/lib/pypython2.7), which leaves the lib_pypy libraries. These cannot be renamed to anything such as pypy1.9 so I stuck them within the standard libraries directory. A condition for this is the libraries cannot conflict with cPython. Previously I had an explicit directory $PREFIX/pypy-1.9 where I had all the files (including the binary) with sym-links for the binaries to $PREFIX/bin. This, however, I considered less clean. Regards
