I'm moving systems from linux to mac and am a heavy user of python. There are very few ports in the python25 group --- how do I go about submitting new ports for libraries to this group? (which will generally be copies of the python24 port but with different dependents) Alternatively, the existing ports could have a python25 variant added? Should I get in contact with mww@macports.org who appears to be the maintainer on many of the existing python24 ports.
There was a conscious and considered decision to use separate portfiles for the different versions of Python, and not to use variants. I'll let someone who uses Python recall why that is.
* Is there any way of listing all ports with a given PortGroup (as opposed to category)?
I don't know if there's a built-in port command to do that, but there's always shell magic: $ grep python25 python/*/Portfile | sed 's/^.*\/\(.*\)\/.*$/\1/' py25-WebHelpers py25-aspects py25-beaker py25-bsddb py25-bsddb py25-bz2 py25-bz2 py25-bz2 py25-cheetah py25-crypto py25-curses py25-curses py25-gdbm py25-gdbm py25-hashlib py25-hashlib py25-mx-base py25-mx-experimental py25-myghtyutils py25-mysql py25-nose py25-readline py25-readline py25-setuptools py25-socket-ssl py25-socket-ssl py25-sqlalchemy py25-sqlite3 py25-sqlite3 py25-tclink py25-tkinter py25-tkinter py25-zlib py25-zlib py25-zopeinterface rdiff-backup-devel
