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

Add support for building Python against GNU Portable Threads (Pth),
and also add experimental support for POSIX semaphores in FreeBSD
7-STABLE and up. The option knobs PTH and SEM respectively are
added to enable this behaviour.

Python is able to use POSIX semaphores for thread synchronization
in threading, and prefers them.
The multiprocessing module in Python 2.6 requires POSIX semaphores,
however, the FreeBSD rtld and malloc need further work to allow
a process to call pthread_create() immediately after fork() as it is
not something allowed by a strict interpretation of the POSIX specs;
therefore allow GNU Pth to be used until the situation is resolved.

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.

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.
