Hi, folks. So I've run up against this issue a couple times in the past, but didn't really care since I was just planning to try a program out. out. Having recently settled on Borg (archivers/py-borgbackup) for my automated backup scheme, though, it's something that's become aggravating. When trying to build a custom local repository, both Poudriere and Synth will refuse to build Python 3 ports unless "DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= python=3.x" is set. (Borg is a Python 3 program.) Setting this of course results in Python 2 ports not being built. This same issue apparently prevents an official package from being built for archivers/py-borgbackup, since there is none. However, installing archivers/py-borgbackup through plain-old `make install clean` works just fine. All dependencies are installed and the two sets of Python programs coexist just fine. So what's the deal? Why is it that I can install Python 2 and Python 3 ports side-by-side manually, but can't build the requisite packages with either of these tools? Is there some way to configure Poudriere to build Python 2/3 ports to co-exist in their install environment? I would like to rely solely on Poudriere on my home server for package builds and upgrades, but insist on sticking with Borg for my backups, and it's a little annoying to have to keep a 2GB ports tree on my laptop for a single program and have to worry about keeping that one (vital) program in sync with the custom repository. Am I just stuck with manually installing and maintaining it? Thanks in advance. -- :: Brandon J.
