>Description:
I upgraded Python 2.4 -> 2.5 following this command in UPDATING.
portupgrade -o lang/python25 lang/python24
Unfortunately, this leaves the python metapackage at python 2.4, so when I
then run portupgrade -a, it wants to upgrade again, rebuilding python 2.5
yet again.
[msoulier@kanga ~]$ pkg_info | grep python
mod_python-3.3.1 Apache module that embeds the Python interpreter
within the
python-2.4.4,1 The "meta-port" for the stable version of Python
interprete
python25-2.5.1 An interpreted object-oriented programming language
Should not a python upgrade procedure include a process to pull the meta
package forward?
>How-To-Repeat:
Install python 2.4 from older ports snapshot when 2.4 was current,
installing via the python metapackage. Then update to the latest ports
snapshot and upgrade python using the instructions in UPDATING.
>Fix:
Upgrade the python metapackage, rebuilding python 2.5 yet again.
