It's open source after all. We have a mighty community who can patch and carry things once active maintenance is over. Sorry I stand corrected, lang/python27 is still there indeed. Then the removal of things like lang/pypy / lang/pypy3 is somewhat a mystery to me. My main frustration comes from the fact that `pkg install pypy3' no longer works in a freshly installed 12.x, yet it worked just fine two years ago and long before that as well. :( There is also this warning in Mk/Uses/python.mk, which is somewhat contrfactual now in November 2021: abd81a62faf64 (Antoine Brodin 2020-02-23 21:49:41 +0000 325) .if ${_PYTHON_ARGS} =3D=3D 2.7 abd81a62faf64 (Antoine Brodin 2020-02-23 21:49:41 +0000 326) DEV_WARNING+=3D "lang/python27 reached End of Life and will be removed on 2020-12-31, consider converting to a modern version of python" So I guess there is still a chance to get lang/pypy3 back? If and while lang/python27 is still there and is not going to be kicked out tomorrow. -Max On Wed, Nov 17, 2021 at 2:16 AM Rene Ladan wrote: > On Wed, Nov 17, 2021 at 12:37:07AM -0800, Maxim Sobolev wrote: > > P.S.
