#40812 closed defect (fixed)

colout depends on python3, but this is not marked as a dependency

Reported by: dave_gomboc@… Owned by: g5pw (Aljaž Srebrnič)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.2.0
Keywords: Cc:
Port: colout

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

After installing it successfully, attempting to run it gives:

/opt/local/bin/colout: line 11: python3: command not found

Examination of /opt/local/bin/colout shows that it is a shell script whose only job is to invoke python3.

(Expected behaviour would be for the package manager to tell me that this script depends upon python3, and install them both at my option.)

Port: colout added

To my knowledge, there is no MacPorts port that provides "python3". We have various versions of python 3.x, and colout should select one of them and use it, or provide variants to let the user choose. Currently the colout port declares a dependency on python27; perhaps that's incorrect.

Hm, it looks like the developers switched to python3 without me noticing. Fixed in r112364.
