** The following ports have a version number that sorts before a previous one ** For many package tools to work correctly, it is of utmost importance that version numbers of a port form a monotonic increasing sequence over time. Refer to the FreeBSD Porter's Handbook, 'Package Naming Conventions' for more information. Tools that won't work include pkg_version, portupgrade and portaudit. A common error is an accidental deletion of PORTEPOCH. Please fix any errors as soon as possible. - *lang/python* <python@FreeBSD.org>: python-2.4.3 < python-2.4.3_1 | revision 1.154 | date: 2006/10/09 14:29:15; author: perky; state: Exp; lines: +12 -193 | - Update the main python version to 2.5. | - Now, lang/python is just a meta-port which depends on lang/python25. | - And all versions of Python ports have short version identifier in its | package name; python25-2.5, python24-2.4.3 and etc. | - Also you must upgrade all python modules after lang/python updated, | cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages | | - Give maintainership of Python ports to the new python@ group which | includes me, alexbl@ and others.
