Out of interest I ran "pkg del python27" on my FreeBSD machine just to see what would break. Conspicuous was devel/mercurial: PORTVERSION= 5.1.2 USES= cpe python:2.7 Evidently Mercurial versions 5.2 and later support Python 3. The current stable version is 5.3.2, so the FreeBSD port is a few versions behind for some reason. Evidently textproc/asciidoc also still requires Python 2.7. Though it looks like it's possible to install both Mercurial and Asciidoc using Python 3's "pip" instead of using FreeBSD ports. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
