Re: How do I depend on a python port without caring about flavor

Thank you for the reply.

However, for the ports listed below...

... strange things seem to occur.

For example, in the following dependency graph, the FLAVOR will be unbreakable?

# PYTHON_DEFAULT==3.8
${PYTHON_PKGNAMEPREFIX}sphinx>=0:textproc/py-sphinx@${PY_FLAVOR}
↑(up arrow)
geographiclib>0:astro/geographiclib
↑(up arrow)
py37-examplefoobar>0:portorigin/py-examplefoobar@py37

I don't know if anyone else uses geographiclib :), but do the ports that are sandwiched by dependencies always have to support flavor?
geographiclib has not yet supported FLAVOR.
If it tries to be built with a command like the following, the build will stop for the reason "FLAVOR is defined (to py37) while this port does not have FLAVORS".

make -C /usr/ports/astro/geographiclib/ build FLAVOR=py37
poudriere bulk -j jail -C astro/geographiclib@py37

And... can ports that switch files to be installed in PYTHON_SITELIBDIR (e.g. llvm*, rrdtool and opencv) be prefixed with PYTHON_PKGNAMEPREFIX in package name?
If the package name changes in the middle of the history, the users of the package may not be able to follow it. (e.g. libopenshot-0.2.3.595_2 -> py37-libopenshot-0.2.4.29)

I'm a little confused as I write :), but I have some questions about that.

Sorry for starting to stray from the original question.
Regards.
