https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D209551 Bug ID: 209551 Summary: Python bits ignore DEFAULT_VERSIONS Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Ports Framework Assignee: python@FreeBSD.org Reporter: mi@FreeBSD.org CC: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org As transpired in the discussion of Bug #209204, Python bits have their own = way for system-admins to specify the desired Python version. Though the existing method is perfectly fine in itself, it is wrong for it to ignore the DEFAULT_VERSIONS method used by all (?) other "ecosystems". As I type this, Bugzilla also helpfully lists other potentially-related problems: Bug #207809 and Bug #207937. It would seem, DEFAULT_VERSIONS _may sometimes_ play a role in determining python-version, but, as Bug #209204 shows, not _always_ -- and _never_ officially. This needs fixing -- DEFAULT_VERSIONS ought to become the "source of truth"= for Python-version as it already is (and is documented to be) for other things. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
