A few weeks ago I started the work on an update of
lang/python26. With this update I want to move to
python26 as the default python version. I've tested
a lot of ports which work fine. I've given pav@ a patch
for a exp-run, to check how many regressions we have with
this move. I'd like to call for testing of this patch to
make sure I don't break too many ports.

Please do following:

  Make sure your portstree is uptodate,
    fetch the patch here:
    http://miwi.homeunix.com/patches/python262.diff

    Apply the patch. If you have 2.5.x installed, perform an
    upgrade of lang/python25 to lang/python26 with a command like:

    # portupgrade -o lang/python26 lang/python25

    If you want to keep 2.5.x installed alongside 2.6.x, set the
    PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION variable to 'python2.5' without quotes in
    make.conf, then go to lang/python and execute

   # portupgrade -R python

    Once the installed Python has been updated to 2.6, by using one of the
    methods above, it is required to run the upgrade-site-packages target in
    lang/python to assure that site-packages are made available to the new Python
    version.

    # cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages

This Makefile target requires ports-mgmt/portupgrade to be installed.

      Happy Testing!
