  Affects: users of any ports which have dependency on lang/python

  Author: perky@FreeBSD.org

  Reason: 
    After upgrading of lang/python, you must rebuild all its consumer
    ports to make them get ready to Python 2.4.
  
    To do this, you will need to:
      pkgdb -uf && cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages
  
  

Introduce two new versions of Python: 2.6 and 3.0rc1 (finally!)
Python 2.6 will be the next default python version when enough
testings of consumer ports are done.  The new "2to3" program is
renamed to 2to3-2.6 and 2to3-3.0 for each version, respectively.

  security/vulnerability-test-port -> ports-mgmt/vulnerability-test-port

Revert the default version of Python to 2.4 for the ports freeze
period.  Python 2.5 brought a vast range of incompatibility to a
large number of ports, so the python@ team will do more basic
compatibility work in a private repository and merge it later.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Approved by:    portmgr (kris)

- Restrict a dependency to the real interpreter to _RUN only.  This
  allows portupgrade to upgrade lang/python from 2.4 flawlessly.
- So remove obsolete instruction.

Fix version number to 2.5 even if 2.4 is in the system.

- Update the main python version to 2.5.
  - Now, lang/python is just a meta-port which depends on lang/python25.
  - And all versions of Python ports have short version identifier in its
    package name; python25-2.5, python24-2.4.3 and etc.
  - Also you must upgrade all python modules after lang/python updated,
     cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages

- Give maintainership of Python ports to the new python@ group which
  includes me, alexbl@ and others.

Fix buffer overrun when performing repr() on a unicode string in a build
with wide unicode (UCS-4) support.

KDE (for example).
