#19442: librsvg incompatible with Python 3 -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: gale@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.7.1 Resolution: wontfix | Keywords: Port: librsvg | -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Comment(by gale@…): Why? Various versions of Python 3 have been considered "stable production versions" of Python for a long time now. Anyone doing serious development in Python will consider doing this. When a package/port depends on a legacy version, the standard behavior for packaging systems is to provide that dependency to the specific package, not to downgrade the entire system. That's why upstream considers this a MacPorts bug. But if it's really true that MacPorts won't support setting Python 3 as the default, then doing that should be removed as an option. As long as MacPorts officially supports setting Python 3 as the default - which I maintain it should - then this is certainly a bug in my opinion. Fact - when I configure my MacPorts in a reasonable and supported way, this package fails to build. Please explain why that's not a bug. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19442#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
