Description Brendan Shanks 2019-04-04 21:32:50 UTC

devel/b2 requires arrow<0.12.1, but 0.13.1 is now the current version in ports. Error occurs with both b2-2.7 and b2-3.6.

This version restriction was apparently to keep supporting Python 2.6, a pull request has been created but still not merged:
https://github.com/Backblaze/B2_Command_Line_Tool/issues/551

I haven't tested it yet, but this patch should fix the issue:

Fix in https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=241138 

Just awaiting the maintainer...

Any updates?

Upstream is at version 2.0.2 now.  My current work around is to create a venv and install b2 via pip.  I would much prefer do manage via ports/pkg.

Is there something specific I could do to help move this forward?

I have given up on this port and have migrated to rclone instead which has support for Backblaze and seems to be well maintained. If this port is to be no longer maintained, I suggest this port be removed so people can look elsewhere for well-maintained tools to access Backblaze.
