Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-gnome mailing list
<gnome@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback:
Bug 243381: gobject-introspection not updated when upgrading python
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=243381



--- Description ---
I just tried building print/harfbuzz-icu, and it failed, apparently with the
same issue as in bug 243191 and bug 242927. I use portmaster for upgrading my
system, and I recently followed the instructions in /usr/ports/UPDATING for
20191216 for users of Python. The issue was resolved by simply recompiling
devel/gobject-introspection. I think this issue was addressed previously in bug
238254, but it has cropped up again with another Python version bump.

Ideally, portupgrade or portmaster would detect these Python bindings and
automatically rebuild gobject-introspection. Failing that, maybe the
gobject-introspection port could be modified so that it includes the @py37
specifier used by many other Python-related ports. At the least, this issue
with gobject-introspection should probably be mentioned in /usr/ports/UPDATING
as was done for Samba in the 20200113 entry.
