Bug ID: 209551
Summary: Python bits ignore DEFAULT_VERSIONS
Product: Ports & Packages
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: Ports Framework
Assignee: pyt...@freebsd.org
Reporter: m...@freebsd.org
CC: freebsd-ports-b...@freebsd.org
As transpired in the discussion of Bug #209204, Python bits have their own way
for system-admins to specify the desired Python version. Though the existing
method is perfectly fine in itself, it is wrong for it to ignore the
DEFAULT_VERSIONS method used by all (?) other "ecosystems".
As I type this, Bugzilla also helpfully lists other potentially-related
problems: Bug #207809 and Bug #207937. It would seem, DEFAULT_VERSIONS _may
sometimes_ play a role in determining python-version, but, as Bug #209204
shows, not _always_ -- and _never_ officially.
This needs fixing -- DEFAULT_VERSIONS ought to become the "source of truth" for
Python-version as it already is (and is documented to be) for other things.
