py-pytest missing?

Hi,

The build succeeded even with ports, were the annoying error was reported.

Regards Hanns

I'm facing same issue, so to summarize, is it OK to continue building ports with this error popping almost on each and every port?

I also got these errors since py-pytest4 got deleted (at first I thought the 2025Q3 branch was the issue, but it also happens on the latest ports tree).
Everything still builds fine, but running poudriere options produces a lot of those warnings. So yet another annoyance of the dumpster fire that is the python dependency hell. As long as everything builds I couldn't care less...

So yet another annoyance of the dumpster fire that is the python dependency hell.

It's more the Python-porting hell. The self constructed hell of porting Python packages to FreeBSD packages. It's our own dumpster that is burning, and it started burning years ago.

My experience is that if you need Python do not use the FreeBSD ports. Use Pip instead. I do use py3-ports only where they are dependencies from other FreeBSD ports.

The ported Python on FreeBSD is nothing that you can relay on. There are PRs open since years (!) without getting fixed. The py-setuptools drama became an endless soap opera and new Python versions come so late to the ports when they are near upstream expiration date.

Thanks, the all ports are compiled successfully
