#11267: REVISION: Python25 readline variant and now builds as a framework ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Reporter: dinosaur@aztecfreenet.org | Owner: mww@macports.org Type: enhancement | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Enhancements Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Python readline Framework ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Comment (by mdickens@nd.edu): Instructions for using the tarball, because others have asked for it: 0) Deactivate or uninstall any py25-YYY ports, and any other ports that rely upon them. If possible, uninstall all of these first and (re)install them afterwards (in step 6) just to make sure they all work with the "new" Python install. 1) Make sure 'port' is version 1.6.0 or newer; this takes care of some issues. {{{ sudo port selfupdate }}} Optionally, also upgrade the other installed ports; while this shouldn't make any difference, it might and really can't hurt unless you need a specific version of some particular port. {{{ sudo port upgrade installed }}} 2) Make sure python25 is ''not'' installed, e.g. {{{ sudo port -f uninstall python25 }}} 3) Download the tarball; let's say this is in {{{~/Downloads/python25.tar}}} 4) Make the updated Portfile and related files available for 'port' to use: {{{ pushd `port dir python25` cd .. sudo rm -rf python25 sudo tar xf ~/Downloads/python25.tar popd }}} 5) Install the new version of Python, with whatever variant you desire, e.g.: {{{ sudo port install python25 +framework }}} 6) Reactivate or (re)install any py25-YYY ports that were deactivated or uninstalled in step 0. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/11267#comment:21> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
