Ports that install python scripts, which are not + limited to a certain python version (or version range), can + include lang/python as build and/or run dependency. + + USE_PYTHON=yes and similar knobs will only pull in the + default python version (e.g. lang/python27), but none + of the meta ports or lang/python itself. + + Please use lang/python as build or run-time dependency only, + if there is no other way to get a port working properly, since + the usage of lang/python complicates package builds for different + python versions. + 20131213: AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org diff --git a/Mk/bsd.python.mk b/Mk/bsd.python.mk index 3161ca3dea1c..a49fb8352ab5 100644 --- a/Mk/bsd.python.mk +++ b/Mk/bsd.python.mk @@ -596,15 +596,13 @@ PYTHON_NO_DEPENDS?= NO .if ${PYTHON_NO_DEPENDS} == "NO" .if defined(USE_PYTHON_BUILD) -BUILD_DEPENDS+= ${PYTHON_CMD}:${PYTHON_PORTSDIR} \ - python:${PORTSDIR}/lang/python +BUILD_DEPENDS+= ${PYTHON_CMD}:${PYTHON_PORTSDIR} .if defined(_WANTS_META_PORT) BUILD_DEPENDS+= python${_WANTS_META_PORT}:${PORTSDIR}/lang/python${_WANTS_META_PORT} .endif .endif .if defined(USE_PYTHON_RUN) -RUN_DEPENDS+= ${PYTHON_CMD}:${PYTHON_PORTSDIR} \ - python:${PORTSDIR}/lang/python +RUN_DEPENDS+= ${PYTHON_CMD}:${PYTHON_PORTSDIR} .if defined(_WANTS_META_PORT) RUN_DEPENDS+= python${_WANTS_META_PORT}:${PORTSDIR}/lang/python${_WANTS_META_PORT} .endif |
