--K8nIJk4ghYZn606h Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="17pEHd4RhPHOinZp" Content-Disposition: inline --17pEHd4RhPHOinZp Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Dear all, as discussed previously on this list, users would love to install the same python for multiple python versions. Besides other issues (which I'll summarize in a different mail), one problem, especially for binary packages, are the "am I the default?" assumptions of lang/pythonXX. The attached patch moves that logic into lang/python, instead of maintaining the IF_DEFAULT magic within the individual python ports. This will allow binary packages to be installed side by side without any hacks, but also requires users, which are now happily using /usr/local/bin/python (being created by lang/pythonXX) to install lang/python explicitly (UPDATING entry should be sufficient). If there are no objections, I'll commit the change on the next weekend (09.08.+). Please take your time to test. If portmgr@ feels this might be a bit risky (ports implying /usr/local/bin/python based on lang/pythonXX), please issue an exp-run beforehand.
