<p class="MsoNormal">Hi --<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I'm getting ready to update the oof2 and oofcanvas ports and have a few questions. I created the initial portfiles with a lot of help from the admins and I'm still more or less a novice at this.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The original versions were built with distutils, but the new ones use cmake. The installed files include an executable python script, a bunch of python modules, and some libraries built from C++ code. I think I should use the cmake
portgroup instead of the python portgroup, because doesn't the portgroup determine if the build is done with cmake or python. I see that some other ports use both so I am missing something.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If I use the python portgroup, then I'd have subports pyXY-oof2 and pyXY-oofcanvas. Would users of the old oof2 and oofcanvas ports know to upgrade to the new ports?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If the new portfile doesn't use the python portgroup, I assume I should just offer variants for different python versions. Is there a standard way to choose the default variant, to reduce the chances of installing extra python versions
if a user doesn't already have the one I've chosen as the default?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-- Steve<o:p></o:p></p>
