            Bug ID: 297697
           Summary: devel/py-backports*: don't install
                    backports/__init__.py
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)

The various devel/py-backports.* ports install files into a shared "backports"
Python module.  Unfortunately, more than one of them attempts to create the
/usr/local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/backports/__init__.py file.  That
creates conflicts.  For example, it's impossible to install
py-backports.zoneinfo and py-backports.cached-property at the same time.  It's
a very unfortunate conflict, because the backports/__init__.py files that they
try to create all have identical content, modulo comments.

These conflicts are leading to breakage downstream the dependency tree, for
example Bug #297696 .

I propose that all of the ports be patched to remove backports/__init__.py ,
and instead add a run depends on py-backports, which creates that file and
little else.
