Hi, everyone,
I've been helping get archivers/py-borgbackup (bug 207715) committed for
a while now.
The last remaining blocker is the fact that the port has
USES=python:3.4+ and depends on other Python ports, namely
devel/py-setuptools_scm, devel/py-msgpack-python and devel/py-llfuse.
This means the port will try to require/install the Python 3 versions of
those ports which are not built by default and not present in Poudriere
builds if one does not explicitly build Python 3 packages.
This is a ports limitation that would be overcome by support for variants[1].
However, it is uncertain when all of the little issues blocking variants
support will be resolved. The dependency problem you mention is the same reason
that many other ports (e.g. Samba) cannot be built when the default is Python
3. Kubilay's suggestion to create py3- ports is mainly a workaround to give you
something close enough to variants that would allow this. These ports would
need to be created, maintained, and then culled when we have proper support for
variants. The alternative would be to simply wait until we have variants support.
