Hi, Martin,

Hi,
Finally I'm working on to remove python 24 from the ports tree, and the
reasons are clear. Support was dropped by 2008, and there are a lot of
unpatched security holes. We have warned about this since 2 years ago,
and now I will really take action to drop it from the ports tree.
I have no objections, but know people that do :). I ever know FreeBSD 
committer that using old zope.
We have only three ports, that wish exactly python 2.4 version:

net/honeyd (skreu...@freebsd.org)
www/zope   (esta...@augusta.de)
www/zope211 (esta...@augusta.de)

And only one port that depends on exact 2.5 version:

www/google-appengine (ni...@freebsd.org)

I prefer to remove both of python24 and python25 because they both EOL. But I'd still set them all to expiration period of month or two. We have such a tradition.
So here is the final patch [1] that has already been reviewed by lwshu@
and wen@, but I would like to discuss regarding the zope ports.

First of all I will clean up the zope version from the bsd.python.mk.
Now I would like to know what you guys think if I were to remove
www/zope and keep www/zope213. Another option is to merge www/zope213
to www/zope and just remove www/zope211 and www/zope213 completely.
What do you think about this?

Thanks Martin

Our zope213 port didn't use ZOPESKELDIR, SZOPEBASEDIR so it may look like this:
+if ${ZOPE_VERSION} == "2.13"
+ZOPE_PORTSDIR=                 ${PORTSDIR}/www/zope213
 .else

I prefer to keep it as zope213 for some time.
