** The following ports have a version number that sorts before a previous one **
For many package tools to work correctly, it is of utmost importance that
version numbers of a port form a monotonic increasing sequence over time.
Refer to the FreeBSD Porter's Handbook, 'Package Naming Conventions' for
more information. Tools that won't work include pkg_version, portupgrade
and portaudit. A common error is an accidental deletion of PORTEPOCH.
Please fix any errors as soon as possible.

| - Update the main python version to 2.5.
| - Now, lang/python is just a meta-port which depends on lang/python25.
| - And all versions of Python ports have short version identifier in its
| package name; python25-2.5, python24-2.4.3 and etc.
| - Also you must upgrade all python modules after lang/python updated,
| cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages
|
| - Give maintainership of Python ports to the new python@ group which
| includes me, alexbl@ and others.
