>Description:
Ports that define "USE_ZOPE=yes" in their Makefiles ignore the value
of PYTHON_VERSION set either in /etc/make.conf or on the make command
line. This can cause problems for combinations of Python programs
that only work properly with a specific version of the run-time
environment. For example, Plone 2.1 and Zope 2.8 require Python 2.3,
but the Plone port (which defines USE_ZOPE) depends on and builds
against Python 2.4. This can cause compatibility problems, e.g. when
Zope (Python 2.3) tries to load Plone's byte-compiled files (Python
2.4).
>How-To-Repeat:
1. Install ports/www/zope28. This will install ports/lang/python23
automatically.
2. Add the following lines to /etc/make.conf:
PYTHON_VERSION=python2.3
ZOPE_VERSION=2.8
3. Install ports/www/plone. Note that this causes ports/lang/python
(Python 2.4) to install. Note also that Plone will build against
Python 2.4.
>Fix:
I don't know if this is the correct fix, but the following changes to
ports/Mk/bsd.python.mk work for me. Someone who is more familiar with
the ports tree's make scripts should review these changes before
committing them. With these changes, if PYTHON_VERSION is already
set, bsd.python.mk will not override it.
