Bug 227149: [PATCH] Use the www/py-django meta port instead of the
www/py-django18 port to move to Django 1.11
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=227149



--- Description ---
Hello,

this time its a rather large patch that affect all ports that are still tied to
www/py-django18 . The patch unties those ports from www/py-django18 and
reassigns them instead to the Django meta port www/py-django which uses as
default version Django 1.11.

Django v1.11 is the new preferred LTS version and the last one that supports
Python 2.7.

The patch is also meant as preparation to update www/py-djangorestframework to
the latest version, 3.7.7, which has dropped the support for Django 1.8 since
version 3.7.x .

Following ports were excluded from the patch:

- www/py-django-mezzanine (officially supported Django versions 1.8 - 1.10)
- www/py-django-contrib-comments (py-django-mezzanine depends on it)

Ports, that seem to deprecated (dead homepage, stale projects or officially
deprecated) and have no dependent ports upon:

- www/feedjack
- www/py-django-configurations
- www/py-django-dpaste
- www/py-django-dojango
- www/py-django-evolution
- www/py-django-keyedcache
- www/py-django-livesettings
- www/py-django-paging
- www/py-django-profiles
- www/py-django-signals-ahoy
- www/py-django-social-auth
- www/py-django-subdomains
- www/py-django-sudo
- www/py-django-templatetag-sugar
- www/py-django-threaded-multihost
- www/py-djangotoolbox


QA:
~~~
- poudriere (11.1-RELEASE amd64 + i386) -> OK
