#44137: root6: add some python variant by default ---------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: mojca@… | Owner: jonesc@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: root5, root6 | ---------------------------+---------------------- Comment (by jfcaron@…): What actually makes the most sense to me is to have the default (non- variant) ROOT include PyROOT with the system python at /usr/bin/python. This is done in the ./configure step with --enable-python. The python2* variants should be used to include PyROOT with a MacPorts-provided python, with the same port name as the variant name. If there is a compelling argument for a non-python* variant ROOT to NOT include PyROOT support, then I agree that one of the python2* variants should be enabled by default. I've only been on Macs since 10.7, so it seems obvious to me that python27 should be the default variant. Yet another way: can the root6 port detect if there is already a python port installed (& selected with python_select)? Then root6 could enable python support for whatever the user already had installed. That would make the dependencies pretty strange. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44137#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
