https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=205239 Bug ID: 205239 Summary: Mk/Uses/python.mk: USES=python:2 vs USES=python:-2.7 Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Ports Framework Assignee: portmgr@FreeBSD.org Reporter: vladimir.chukharev@gmail.com CC: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org, koobs@FreeBSD.org Mk/Uses/python.mk has the following description: # USES=python:2 # Use the Python 2 meta port I understand this as 'use this if your port needs latest python of version series 2.*'. A discussion in bug 205126 reveals that it means actually a need for a symlink python2, while for latest v2 python it's better to use USES=python:-2.7 It seems to me that the description is to be clarified. Probably, suspicious usages of USES=python:2 are to be found and informed to maintainers. I plan to do this change in all my ports as they are updated. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
