>Description:

The old-python ports overwrite the man page and binaries from current python.
I have called this a bug because blowing away files from another port *is* a
bug, when there is no reason for the ports to be mutually-exclusive.

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:

Do not install bin/py{thon,doc}. Patch the dist Makefile(s) to install the
man page with a {15,20,21} suffix.

I'll follow up with actual patches.

I want to get this in the system to get maintainer feedback, plus
feedback from maintainers of ports that fixing this is probably going
to break.

Any ports which require an old python?? explicitly (e.g., Zope) will break.
In particular, this affects the following ports:

databases/zpygresqlda/Makefile:PYTHON_VERSION=        python1.5
mail/mahogany/Makefile:PYTHON_VERSION=                python1.5
print/py-fonttools/Makefile:PYTHON_VERSION=   python2.1
textproc/py-asv/Makefile:PYTHON_VERSION=      python2.1
www/pyweblib/Makefile:PYTHON_VERSION= python2.1
www/zope/Makefile:PYTHON_VERSION=     python2.1

Maintainer of zope, arguably the most "important" port affected by this,
is on the Cc: list.
