Kyle Evans <kevans@freebsd.org> has reassigned Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org>'s request for maintainer-feedback to FreeBSD Python <python@FreeBSD.org>: Bug 225052: lang/python: Fix PORTVERSION of this metaport https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=225052 --- Description --- Created attachment 189591 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=189591&action=edit svn(1) diff of lang/python Assume that you specify DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= python=3.6 The PORTVERSION of this metaport goes to 3.6, but it's still installing python2 as /usr/local/bin/python. This seems nonsensical, and possibly misleading, since I would expect that to mean the /usr/local/bin/python it installs is 3.6. Use PYTHON_PORTVERSION instead, which lines up with all of the uses of PYTHON_MAJOR_VER. Eventually it would be nice to switch all of this over to reflecting the default python version so that python3 can be installed as /usr/local/bin/python, but I'd guess we would need to do an audit of all of the python2 ports and make sure they're not doing "/usr/bin/env python" and expecting python 2.help
