Refs: #2507
Unlike the AIX packages in #2564, on IBM i installing the
python3
package overwrites/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/python
so that it points to Python 3 (3.6.12). However prior to running these changes on the IBM i machines (#2507 (comment))test-iinthecloud-ibmi72-ppc64_be-1
already hadpython3
installed buttest-iinthecloud-ibmi72-ppc64_be-2
did not so we had a discrepancy anyway where one host'spython
pointed to Python 3 and the other to Python 2. Applying these changes to the two test machines has made them consistent andpython
points to the Python 3 installation.Currently https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-commit-ibmi/ is only run daily on the master branch so we do not need to maintain compatibility for Node.js 12 or 10.
