[MacPorts] #18957: python-2.6 incorrect dependencies
#18957: python-2.6 incorrect dependencies -----------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: derhindemith@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Requests Component: ports | Version: 1.7.0 Keywords: python dependencies | Port: python26 -----------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Python 2.6 has as dependencies: gettext, zlib, openssl, tk, sqlite3, db46, ncurses, gdbm, bzip2, readline These should probably be listed as variants (probably as +no_tk, etc.), as python can successfully configure, build, install, and be used without them. On a personal note, something like this is really important to me, as python is just a dependency for me, and these other ports aren't strictly necessary. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/18957> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

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
