#65478: glib2 only has a build dependency on python?!
-------------------------+--------------------
Reporter: RJVB | Owner: (none)
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version:
Keywords: | Port: glib2
-------------------------+--------------------
Working on updating a number of my custom ports (including glib2 and
gobject-introspection) I was asked to install a Python port I already had
installed. Turned out I install these ports `+universal` while my Python
ports are not for the most part.
As far as I can tell, glib2 does not install a binary that links to a
Python binary, nor a binary Python extension. In other words, Python is a
build dependency or at best a runtime dependency (but the installed .py
files are not executable scripts that require a specific python
interpreter).
Either way, the selected Python version should be added to
`depends_skip_archcheck` so +universal glib2 builds do not impose a
+universal Python build.
(this also applies to port:gobject-introspection).
