All ports committers are allowed to commit to this file. +20131218: +AUTHOR: mva@FreeBSD.org + + lang/python (and as such the 'python' binary and accomplices) + has been removed as default dependency for the USE_PYTHON, + USE_PYTHON_BUILD and USE_PYTHON_RUN knobs. + + Ports need to use a designated (default) python interpreter + to build and install and in most cases for execution in the user + environment. 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 |
