Okay. I'll investigate what will be happened if we force USE_PYTHON=2.3 when USE_ZOPE=yes is activated. As far as I remember, it was such a hell for handling dependencies. > The second thing about your patch is that it only works with python2.4 > so it will force enybody to upgrade to python2.4 when installing zope even > there is a running python2.3.x installation. In ports, we must use explicitly specified version (or default version) to record correct dependency. So, you can force python ports to use Python 2.3. (PYTHONPORT_VERSION is defined after along PYTHON_VERSION) make PYTHON_VERSION=python2.3 install > If I whould have been asked the patch wouldnīt have been approved. > Emergency build fixes in ports are usually free from maintainer approval to commit in FreeBSD community. But it doesn't look proper as your comments, I'll add PYTHON_VERSION=python2.3 in zope port. > I think we should change the zope port to use only python2.3 > > I will provide an updated Makefile soon. Sorry I have to go right now > so I can't provide it with this mail. Mk/bsd.python.mk will need some fix for zope product ports as well. Thank you for comments and sorry for incorrect fix. :) Hye-Shik
