Notes from UPDATING
These upgrade notes are taken from /usr/ports/UPDATING
  • 2011-09-25
    Affects: users of lang/python*
    Author: lwhsu@FreeBSD.org
    Reason: 
      The HUGE_STACK_SIZE option has been removed, now Python will use default
      thread stack size of the system.  If you want to change it, specify it
      with -DTHREAD_STACK_SIZE=<size> in CFLAGS.
    
    

  • 2011-03-04
    Affects: users of lang/python* and py-*
    Author: miwi@FreeBSD.org
    Reason: 
      The default version of Python has been changed from 2.6.x to 2.7.x.
      If you have 2.6.x installed, perform an upgrade of lang/python26 to
      lang/python27 with one of the following commands:
    
      If using portupgrade:
      # portupgrade -o lang/python27 lang/python26
    
      If using portmaster:
      # portmaster -o lang/python27 lang/python26
    
      If you want to retain 2.6.x as default Python version, set the
      PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION variable to 'python2.6' (without quotes) in
      /etc/make.conf, then go to lang/python and perform the following
      command:
    
      # portupgrade -R python
    
      Once the installed Python has been updated to 2.7, by using the
      method above, it is required to run the upgrade-site-packages target in
      lang/python to assure that site-packages are made available to the new
      Python version.
    
      If using portupgrade:
      # cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages
    
      If using portmaster:
      # cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages -DUSE_PORTMASTER
    
      The portmaster case can take quite some time to complete due to the lack of
      cached information that the portupgrade suite uses (specifically pkg_which).
      This is not the fault of portmaster.
    
    

  • 2009-06-08
    Affects: users of lang/python* and py-*
    Author: miwi@FreeBSD.org
    Reason: 
      The default version of Python has been changed from 2.5.x to 2.6.x.
      If you have 2.5.x installed, perform an upgrade of lang/python25 to
      lang/python26 with one of the following commands:
    
      If using portupgrade:
      # portupgrade -o lang/python26 lang/python25
    
      If using portmaster:
      # portmaster -o lang/python26 lang/python25
    
      If you want to retain 2.5.x as default Python version, set the
      PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION variable to 'python2.5' (without quotes) in
      /etc/make.conf, then go to lang/python and perform the following
      command:
    
      # portupgrade -R python
    
      Once the installed Python has been updated to 2.6, by using the
      method above, it is required to run the upgrade-site-packages target in
      lang/python to assure that site-packages are made available to the new
      Python version.
    
      If using portupgrade:
      # cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages
    
      If using portmaster:
      # cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages -DUSE_PORTMASTER
    
      The portmaster case can take quite some time to complete due to the lack of
      cached information that the portupgrade suite uses (specifically pkg_which).
      This is not the fault of portmaster.

Fix fcntl module to accept 'unsigned long' type commands for ioctl(2).

Although POSIX says the type is 'int', all BSD variants (including Mac OS X)
have been using 'unsigned long' type for very long time and its use predates
the standard long enough.  For certain commands (e.g., TIOCSWINSZ, FIONBIO),
the Python value may get sign-extended on 64-bit platforms (by implicit type
promotion) and it causes annoying warnings from kernel such as this:

WARNING pid 24509 (python2.6): ioctl sign-extension ioctl ffffffff8004667e

Make sure the singal is delivered to the main thread, where python
runs its signal handlers, not to a random thread that happens to be
executing at the time when signal arrives. This functionality has been
lost since Python 2.3, possible cause is that the linux implementation
of POSIX threads always delivered signal to the main thread. This
bug results in rather annoying inability to terminate threading script
with ^C for example and there could be other issues as well.

Bump PORTREVISION.

Update CONFIGURE_ARGS for how we pass CONFIGURE_TARGET to configure script.
Specifically, newer autoconf (> 2.13) has different semantic of the
configure target. In short, one should use --build=CONFIGURE_TARGET
instead of CONFIGURE_TARGET directly. Otherwise, you will get a warning
and the old semantic may be removed in later autoconf releases.

To workaround this issue, many ports hack the CONFIGURE_TARGET variable
so that it contains the ``--build='' prefix.

To solve this issue, under the fact that some ports still have
configure script generated by the old autoconf, we use runtime detection
in the do-configure target so that the proper argument can be used.

Changes to Mk/*:
 - Add runtime detection magic in bsd.port.mk

Revert the default version of Python to 2.4 for the ports freeze

- 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.
