Hi,

Quickly looking into things it looks like the python dep clang has is largely redundant. Its needed only on OSes where the system version is 'too old' which means darwin < 11. Most systems can (and in fact if you check the build config, do) use the system python anyway.

So I think the python dep. can be removed for the majority of (not ancient) systems.

cheers Chris

Another question is why does clang depend explicitly on python 2.7, can it not be updated to a newer 3.x version ?

Hi there,

everything is in the subject. Is there any reason for this dependency? I’m trying to get rid of python 2.7, and the only dependent port left so far is clang 9.0, which is needed by qt5-qttools, but I can’t figure out why.

Thanks a bunch,
Vincent
