Today I noted that math/gnumeric has been scheduled for deletion due to its
requirement for python27.
Gnumeric builds fine by default with python37 as stated at this is not
needed as per http://gnumeric.org/announcements/1.12/gnumeric-1.12.46.html.The
three python plugins are no longer built unless pyton2 is the default. They
are not needed.
I have opened https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=245799 with
a patch that allows gnumeric to build with python3 as default. It could use
a bit of work to test the default python version and, if it i 2.7, do the
post-install and add the 9 files back into pkg-plist. I don't know how to
do the latter part.
I have tested the port and it builds and runs successfully with a default
of python37.
