BUG: Python /usr/local/bin/python packaging

[afb@…]

cgi.py says:

#! /usr/local/bin/python

# NOTE: the above "/usr/local/bin/python" is NOT a mistake.  It is
# intentionally NOT "/usr/bin/env python".  On many systems
# (e.g. Solaris), /usr/local/bin is not in $PATH as passed to CGI
# scripts, and /usr/local/bin is the default directory where Python is
# installed, so /usr/bin/env would be unable to find python.  Granted,
# binary installations by Linux vendors often install Python in
# /usr/bin.  So let those vendors patch cgi.py to match their choice
# of installation.

Which means that we need to patch it to ${prefix}/bin/python... (this applies to both the python24 and python25 port versions)

Most likely it should use the versioned name, e.g. "python2.4"

Since Python is unmaintained, I'll probably just commit these in a stealth update...

Fixed in r28753, but didn't bump revision since "python" binary was deleted. (this breaks a lot of ports unless using python_select, as new users know)
