Anyhow, my question regards the llvm-devel port. The install phase wants to build python26. Is that because the author of the port likes python26, or would it really work if I used my presently available python25? I could fix my makefile, if it'd work ok, but I need to understand why our llvm port needs python26, before I shoot myself in the foot. Maybe I just ought to be thankful it doesn't go off and try to install python30, which I truly have problems with. I just need to know, I hope one of you folks knows the reason why. In fact, needing that python26 would really stop this from ever getting into the base, wouldn't it? Not that I'd mind a good excuse to get python into our base, but I don't think anyone else would agree with me.
