If no one else gets to it, I'll look at this shortly.

Typically, we use python versions 27 34 35 (if those don't work, mention why) and remove the md5 checksum.

Also, a sha256 checksum should be added. See the wiki about modern checksums.

  • Updated Portfile to the latest version 1.0.1
  • replaced md5 checksum by sha256 checksum
  • made a note on why Python 3.4 is used. Borgbackup is not a module but a program. Is this worth mentioning?

OK that's fine. Often you can offer to support multiple version of python using variants and "python.versions 34 35" and then add code for variants +python34 and +python35

Replying to khindenburg@…:

I expanded the note on why Python 3.4 is used.

In the meantime I had a look at different ports that offer support for multiple versions of Python (non-modules, e.g. www/nghttp2). In the case of BorgBackup I'm not confident that this support solves a problem. I kinda like the simplicity of the current Portfile.

OK?

(BTW. there are now two attachments, which are identical. My bad...sorry!)
