Python portgroups: 2.4 vs 2.5
Hi, With the recent release of MacPorts 1.4 it seems there is a new portgroup for Python 2.5, in addition to the old portgroup for Python 2.4 Unless I'm missing something, it means that ports that require Python 2.5 should use the new portgroup, and ports that don't should continue to use the 2.4 portgroup? Or is it the case that all compatible ports in the 2.4 portgroup are going to be migrated to the new 2.5 portgroup? (I'll assume not for now, as this seems like a big job) So what if you want to install a python library from a port that happens to use portgroup 2.4 but would quite happily run under Python 2.5? Is there a way of doing this? It seems from a short play that installing a port that uses the 2.4 portgroup will result in Python 2.4 being dragged in as a dependency, even though Python 2.5 is installed and compatible. Just a bit confused here, can someone point the way?
