Dear all, The state of the SQLAlchemy ports currently in the tree is pretty dire. SQLAlchemy is perhaps the premiere ORM written in Python and we really should have decent support for it. Plus I know of at least two new as yet uncommitted ports waiting on availability of an up-to-date version.
Can I draw your attention to PRs 191442 and 205852 and Review D908: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=191442 https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=205852 https://reviews.freebsd.org/D908 The scope of changes involved includes, amongst other things, a reorganization of what sqlalchemy ports are available in the tree. Currently we have: Port Version Maintainer ---------------------------------------------- py-sqlalchemy06 0.6.9 [email protected] py-sqlalchemy 0.7.10 [email protected] py-sqlalchemy-devel 0.8.2 [email protected] I'm proposing the following: py-sqlalchemy06 0.6.9 [email protected] (Deprecate 2016-08-20) py-sqlalchemy07 0.7.10 [email protected] (Deprecate 2016-08-20) py-sqlalchemy08 0.8.7 [email protected] py-sqlalchemy09 0.9.10 [email protected] py-sqlalchemy10 1.0.13 [email protected] I've marked two of the ports for deletion in 3 months time, on the basis that a) upstream has declared those ports EoL and b) 5 different versions of the same package is really a bit much. During that three months, there is further work to do on consumers of SQLAlchemy in the tree: most consumers should work happily with more recent versions, but currently most of them are depending on version 0.7.x as the generic 'py-sqlalchemy' port. This will all need testing, obviously. Comments, constructive criticism and reviews welcome. Cheers, Matthew
