            Bug ID: 238724
           Summary: textproc/asciidoc 8.6.10 requires python 2.7 in spite
                    of make.conf DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=python=3.7
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: powerpc
                OS: Any

The title seems clear but what I see is that building textproc/asciidoc
ver 8.6.10 seems to have this in the Makefile : 

    USES=           autoreconf gmake gnome python:2.7 shebangfix

However in /etc/make.conf we clearly have :

hydra# cat /etc/make.conf
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=python=3.7
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=ssl=openssl111
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=perl5=5.28
hydra# 

This seems to be respected on x86_64 thus : 


vesta# uname -a 
FreeBSD vesta 12.0-RELEASE-p4 FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE-p4 GENERIC  amd64
vesta# 

Wherein pkg query shows that python 3.7 seems to be fine as a dep :

vesta# pkg query %t\ %n\ %v\ %o | sort -n

Note that at no time was python 2.7 dragged in. 

However on ppc64 we seem to be force fed python 2.7.

Feels wrong to me. 

Is there some hard reason why python 3.7.3 does not do all
that we need for asciidoc??


ps: yes I know this is seen on PPC64 and a lot of work is 
    going on there but the architecture should be of no concern.
