annotate pkg-descr @ 28:6cddc8f64f05

Find changesets by keywords (author, files, the commit message), revision number or hash, or revset expression.
Cross-check the port's build options with the installed pypy3 ones. This is because the CFFI port must be compatible to the installed pypy3 build. This is to ensure the same Python compatibility level (3.7, 3.8 or e.9).
