The changes involves the following 3 steps: [python 2.5/2.6/2.7 improvements/ py 3.2 adding] We plan to integrate some important patches: ports/153952 ports/148406 ports/149167 ports/152224 ports/133081 python 3.2 will be released on 12 Feb, we'll wait for the final release before adding it to the build. For all of these we will do an exp-run to make sure nothing will break during the build. It takes approximately 2 weeks if all works fine. [python24 removal] Python 2.4 is not supported anymore since 2008, and it has a lot of security problems. Unfortunately this will cause the removal of some zope stuff. The following ports are affected: www/zope210 www/zope211 www/zope28 www/zope29 + zope plugins which are dependent on one of these ports. Philip (pgollucci) is working on an update to some new zope versions. I hope we can cooperate with him to get things smoothly done. For all these we will do an exp-run to make sure nothing will break during build. It takes approximately 3 weeks if all works fine. [python 2.7 move to default] python 2.7 is already stable enough to be moved over as default. For this one we will do an exp-run to make sure nothing will break during the build. If all works fine, we think we can complete it by the first week of March. -- With best Regards, Martin Wilke (miwi_(at)_FreeBSD.org) \\Mess with the Best, Die like the Rest//
