Hello,

The python.org ftp provides lang/pythonXX source tarballs in a many formats:
- tar.bz2
- tar.xz
- tgz

Using .tgz is not in sports-way this days, so I'd prefer to use tar.xz for new versions. But I can't actually choose there because tarball format is hardcoded in Mk/bsd.python.mk as PYTHON_DISTFILE variable:

PYTHON_DISTFILE=                        
Python-${PYTHON_PORTVERSION:S/.rc/rc/}.tgz

And in particular python port we have this:

DISTFILES=      ${PYTHON_DISTFILE}

Since I can't just choose tar.xz for some new python33 port, I suggest to change PYTHON_DISTFILE to use tar.xz and to change all the distinfos for lang/pythonXX (with changing SHA256/SIZE fields). What do you think?

I would rather see PYTHON_DISTFILE removed from bsd.python.mk and being moved back to the individual ports instead. Or, to stay compatible for whatever reason, change
it to PYTHON_DISTFILE?= ..., so ports can override it.

Or, even better in making things complicated, change it to

PYTHON_DISTFILE = ${PYTHON_IMPLTYPE}_${PORTVERSION}${EXTRACT_SUFX}

;-)

Cheers
Marcus
