devel/llvm80 requires many python 2.7 ports?

[Kevin Oberman]

Thanks, Brooks!

Now if the package builder would use start using samba48 instead of 47,
I'll be able to install the package. I'm really baffled why "LATEST" is
still being built with a deprecated, nearly expired port almost two months
after the default version was changed, but I'll admit to not being familiar
with the package building system details. Still,things are going to break
really soon when samba47 goes away.
