https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D249337 Matthias Andree <mandree@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |mandree@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #6 from Matthias Andree <mandree@FreeBSD.org> --- What efforts are underway to evaluate and deploy python 2.x compatible interpreters, such as Tauthon, or someone else was mentioning PyPy? Anyone aware of these? I am asking for my port (mail/mailman) where upstream declined a Python 3.x migration and instead decided to write a new piece of software with a completely different architecture and requirements and feature set that was coincidentally dubbed mailman-3, but is not a viable migration path from mailman-2 for lack of features, lack of migration aids, and more.=20 (Mailman is a mailing list driver with web front-end, archival, self-service and other features.) I suspect there may be a few more ports that would otherwise have to go, and measuring branch lengths and counting leaves is not an appropriate metric to determine the importance of a port.=20=20 We may only know we've expired one too many port when users shout at us in 2021, or, worse, silently turn away from FreeBSD. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
