https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D220302 --- Comment #4 from Kubilay Kocak <koobs@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to Yuri Victorovich from comment #3) No, it (only) means depend on python2 (the command/symlink) via lang/python2 port, exactly and only the same as if the following was declared: RUN_DEPENDS=3D python2:lang/python2 The reason it's used is that it just 'happens' to result in 'a' version of Python 2.x being installed, again only implicitly via lang/python2 -> lang/pythonXY. The root cause is a design/implementation/documentation issue in python.mk, which ended up conflating imperative dependencies with declarative version specifications and causing the ambiguity, and ultimate incorrectness in usa= ge. Versions should be explicitly included/listed as supported/compatible, rath= er than implicitly (USE=3Dpython, USE=3Dpython:2, USE=3Dpython:3), *unless* th= ey cannot be given the current limitations of the current version specification syntax (X+, -Y, X-Y, etc). --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
