I'll try portmanager soon.

You need both of them. In fact, python-2.5 is just a dummy port as you said, and it will be changed to some symlinks to executables after 6.2 released.

I think the python changes, or specifically the modification of "python" to be a dummy port with dependency python25 should be backed out until they have been though through a bit better, or at least until the ports (eg mailman, py-spambayes, etc) that use python have had a chance to catch up with the new system.
If you need to use 2.4 for them, just give an option PYTHON_VERSION=python2.4 for the ports. Many of python ports works with the option. (But still an old dependency problem exists yet)
It is now impossible to install/portupgrade, eg py-spambayes to run against python-2.4, the version it was ported and tested against, since it pulls in python as a dependency.
Put PYTHON_VERSION=python2.4 in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf.
POLA has been badly infringed here guys...
Sorry for the inconvenience. We'll cope with arising problems as soon as possible. Hye-Shik _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
