#74201: gnubg @1.08.003: Recommends stub ports
------------------------+--------------------
 Reporter:  ryandesign  |      Owner:  (none)
     Type:  defect      |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal      |  Milestone:
Component:  ports       |    Version:  2.12.5
 Keywords:              |       Port:  gnubg
------------------------+--------------------
 The gnubg port prints this note:

 {{{
 Recommended ports:
     py-mysql    provides the MySQL backend of a game database
     py-psycopg  provides the PostgreSQL backend of a game database
 }}}

 py-mysql and py-psycopg, like all ports whose names begin with py-, do not
 install anything, but they have subports for different versions of python
 that do install things. Which one of them would gnubg use?

 Based on the fact that gnubg depends on python314, I assume the answer is
 py314-mysql and py314-psycopg, so those are the ports the note should
 recommend.

 Note how prior to [6d55f6b3da503fd73ecba73dfa0475ce96b10c78/macports-
 ports] the port depended on python27 and recommended the use of py27-mysql
 and py27-pygresql.
