Default version of python2 not being used

M

mix_room

As per the 20131003 entry in ports/UPDATING I have changed my make.conf to include
Code: 
DEFAULT_VERSIONS=python=2.7 python2=2.7
However, when I try to build lang/python2 I keep getting an older version, python2-2_2.

My make.conf

Code: 
PERL_VERSION=5.16.3
CC=clang
CXX=clang++
CPP=clang-cpp
DEFAULT_VERSIONS=       perl5=5.16 ruby=1.9 python=2.7 python2=2.7

This problem shows up both when using ports-mgmt/poudriere and when trying to build a local copy. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
 
There is white space there already, at least in my make.conf, some went missing in the copying from ports/UPDATING.
 
Please note that installing of the lang/python2 port will install two Python packages:
  • lang/python2 - with current version python2 2_2 (if your ports tree is up to date) - this port will take care of symlinks of python2x
  • lang/python27 - with current version python27 2.7.6_1 (if your ports tree is up to date) - this is actually python2.7
 
So what you are saying is that having these two versions does not imply that the setting is not being applied?
 
Code: 
$ pkg info -ix python                                                                                                                              
python-2.7_1,2
python2-2_2
python27-2.7.6_1

If you have that output, it works as advertised.
 
What I'm saying is that you are speaking for about different things.

lang/python2 is a meta-port - it's only responsible for symlinks of python 2.x.

I think that you are confused by
Code: 
DEFAULT_VERSIONS = ... python2=2.7
This itself doesn't mean that port lang/python2 needs to be 2.7 - this means that your python2 (because there is a python3) default version is 2.7. And yes, the latest version of lang/python2 is 2_2 (not 2.7). :)
