py26-pyqt3, py26-sip-qt3: can we remove these?

[petrrr]

Can we these to ports? There are not python27 equivalents around, but I guess that is acceptable in this case.

[petrrr]

Blair, can these be removed? Are you still interested in maintaining these ports?

[blair (Blair Zajac)]

Yes, these can be removed. I don't need them any more.

[petrrr]

Do we need an update path here or are these port just too old to be still used by users?

[blair (Blair Zajac)]

Qt3 probably doesn't even build on the newer Mac OS X releases, which means the py*pyqt3 don't build either. We could just rename them to py27* and leave it at that, for people on old OSes.

[petrrr]

Just checking what happens on OS X 10.10.

We also could try to replace by py27-pyqt4, however, this would imply to remove (replace_by) qt3-mac as well, and there are still some dependencies:

• k3dsurf
• py26-pyqt3 (to be removed)
• qtc-qtsharp
• qtsharp
• wap11gui

[blair (Blair Zajac)]

Qt3 and pyqt3 are not API and ABI compatible with Qt4 and pyqt4. So we could delete them all or probably easier is to replace py26* with py27* and leave it at that.

[petrrr]

Looks like at the moment qt3-mac cannot be fetched anyway, so it so probably broken for all OS X versions. If there are no tickets around for this, there are probably non users left for this part of the ports tree.

In r147582 I removed these two ports.

Do not really remember why this was kept open. Closing!
