Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-python (Nobody)

Bug 278715: lang/python311: make libmpdec a hard dependency
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D278715



--- Description ---
According to various CPython issues the C version of decimal is now assumed=
 to
be always present. Example:

   https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/118164


I think it might be a good idea to remove the libmpdec optional install and
make it a hard dependency like libffi. Arch Linux has just done the same:

s/10
