Okay. I will see how I can change seahub to make it fit it. AS LONG AS it is clarified that FreeBSD port system does not want to carries the duplication of PyPI, I will treat those existing freebsd pkgs with multiple versions as EXCEPTIONS. :) If they ARE, we will try not to fall in those category. One question, do all the files that are installed into virtualenv pointed directory need to be tracked from freebsd port/pkg system? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
