python26-2.6 numerous improvements

[blb@…]

Will attach six patch files to python26, each to be applied in the lang/python26 directory successively (using patch -p1 < ...). There are six in order to be logically contained.

Each patch description:

• 0001-Whitespace-changes.patch:

  Whitespace changes
  

• 0002-Basic-housekeeping-not-affecting-final-result.patch:

  Basic housekeeping, not affecting final result:
   - calculate major and branch numbers instead of hardcoding
   - take maintainer
   - cleanup master_sites (including removing / at end of homepage)
   - add paths to several files which were relative to worksrcpath, in
     case port is not in that directory
   - remove duplicated file in reinplace
   - remove unneeded post-build piece for case-sensitive FS (tested on
     HFS+ case sensitive to verify)
   - fix the python_select file name
   - obfuscate an email address
  

• 0003-Fix-framework-and-application-installation-locations.patch:

  Fix framework and application installation locations to use
  applications_dir and frameworks_dir (and define if not already, for
  MacPorts 1.6 compatibility); ticket #16761
  

• 0004-Fix-library-and-framework-install-discrepancy-ticke.patch:

  Fix library and framework install discrepancy; ticket #16111, for 2.5
  

• 0005-Add-a-no-user-cfg-option-to-distutils-to-ignore-a-us.patch:

  Add a no-user-cfg option to distutils to ignore a user's pydistutils.cfg;
  ticket #9831, for 2.5
  

• 0006-Fix-universal-SDK-location-python-s-configure-wants.patch:

  Fix universal SDK location (python's configure wants to use 10.4 by default,
  but MacPorts sets MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET to 10.5 on 10.5 systems, and
  that causes errors); no ticket for 2.5, but this could be needed there as well

[myschizobuddy@…]

can we have all of the patches in one tarball. thanks

[myschizobuddy@…]

how many of these patches can benefit 2.5 as well

[blb@…]

tarball of patches 0001 - 0006 for convenience

[blb@…]

Replying to myschizobuddy@…:

how many of these patches can benefit 2.5 as well

Some already can be found in tickets against python25 (#9831 and #16111); the applications and frameworks issue is present in 2.5 but has no ticket as yet; the universal option may also be an issue, and the fix here should be the same for 2.5.

[afb@…]

The python26 port was just a clone of python25, so aside from some things that changed (like some new Makefiles) everything that is wrong with it (2.5) is also inherited by this (2.6) and vice-versa.

Patches applied in r40883, r40884, r40885, r40886, r40887, and r40888 (to match the six parts here).
