20070730: AFFECTS: users of py-* AUTHOR: python@FreeBSD.org The default version of Python has been changed from 2.4.x to 2.5.x. If you have 2.4.x installed, perform an upgrade of lang/python24 to lang/python25 with a command like: # portupgrade -o lang/python25 lang/python24 If want to keep 2.4.x installed alongside 2.5.x, set the PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION variable to 'python2.5' without quotes in make.conf, then go to lang/python and execute # portupgrade -R python Once the installed Python has been updated to 2.5, by using one of the methods above, it is required to run the upgrade-site-packages target in lang/python to assure that site-packages are made available to the new Python version. # cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages This Makefile target requires ports-mgmt/portupgrade to be installed.
