Can you write a quick patch for the python2.5 Portfile to do what you're referring to here?
Working on it. I've never been so good about understanding how to test my own Portfiles though --- I mean, I know I can just put Portfile in a random directory and type "port install", but how do I make it forget completely about my version and upgrade to the "real" version once my patch has been accepted by MacPorts?
I use the port at the same revision number as the official port, then uninstall the current version, put my local port repository in $prefix/etc/ports/sources.conf as a file:/// before the rsync one, then use portindex. When I'm happy, I submit it upstream with a bump in revision and move the port out of my local repository (say into a retired ports directory that MacPorts doesn't nsee), since it shadows the main one.
(About the issue itself: it looks like this actually requires patching the Makefile, since PYTHON is not actually a configure argument. Ugh.)
(BTW Blair, this is to get David James' svn ctypes stuff working.)
Cool. That'll be nice to get in. Regards,
