#18957: python-2.6 incorrect dependencies ------------------------------------------+--------------------------------- Reporter: derhindemith@… | Owner: blb@… Type: enhancement | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Requests Component: ports | Version: 1.7.0 Resolution: wontfix | Keywords: python dependencies Port: python26 | ------------------------------------------+--------------------------------- Changes (by blb@…): * status: new => closed * resolution: => wontfix Comment: Many python users have expectations of what is available when you install it, hence the dependencies. Also, splitting them out either into variants or separate modules is bad for a number of reasons. With variants, if you want to add, say, readline, then you have to completely rebuild the port with that variant; also, until ticket #126 is implemented, you can't depend on the variant. For external modules, that was done with python25 and has issues, see ticket #12369. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/18957#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
