#44137: root6: add some python variant by default ---------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: mojca@… | Owner: jonesc@… Type: enhancement | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Port: root5, root6 | ---------------------------+---------------------- Changes (by mojca@…): * status: new => closed * resolution: => fixed Comment: The variant `+python27` became the default one in r121662. In reply to jfcaron: ROOT cannot use the system Python because it would have to install files outside of MacPorts (probably inside `/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/`). This is generally not acceptable. In my opinion it would still be nice if there was a way to provide simple/lightweight ports like `py27-root5`, `py35-root6`, etc., but this is "left as an exercise to the reader" :). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44137#comment:3> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
