https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=193316 chris.dukes.aix@gmail.com changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |chris.dukes.aix@gmail.com --- Comment #26 from chris.dukes.aix@gmail.com --- TL;DR Why not drop www/py-djblets and www/reviewboard until these problems are sorted out for higher impact python ports? As the only package the depends on www/py-djblets is www/reviewboard, is www/reviewboard of sufficient value as packaged for ports to justify its existence vs a pointer to a playbook to deploy reviewboard in a virtualenv? Granted, neither www/py-djblets nor www/reviewboard are packaged on pypi by the upstream author such that 'pip install reviewboard==version' actually works. Supporting python based web applications, I found there was more value in allowing the developers control over the pure python modules used rather than depending on native packages. Having native packages for python modules was much more useful for hard to build modules like PIL, long to build modules like scipy and numpy, and modules with tight coupling to native libraries (ldap, databases, ssl), or used by low level tools like ansible. A quick conversation with the upstream developer for these packages to put the source on pypi, and deprecating these ports on FreeBSD would be the least effort to provide the most usability. Revisit it when we have reasonable mechanisms for providing a python package for multiple versions of python. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
