#31259: root: python variants use "python" binary -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: jonesc@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.0.3 Keywords: | Port: root -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- The python26 and python27 variants in the root port rely on there being a "python" binary of that version. This is only the case on specific versions of Mac OS X (python26: Snow Leopard; python27: Lion), or if the user has used "`sudo port select python`" to select that version. But it is improper for ports to rely on the user having done so. The port must not rely on a "python" binary; it must use the specific versioned python binary provided by the port whose python variant is selected. This is discussed also in #31247. If the developers of root will not provide an option for this, we can patch it. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/31259> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
