Yes, thanks for the note. There's, for example, multimedia/clive1 port that has PKGNAMEPREFIX defined, so after installation it'll be named py26-clive. I remember mailing its maintainer about this too, but he insisted that port should have prefix as it installs python modules. I still disagree with that - prefixes should indicate that the specific port is ONLY a module and is used ONLY for development and as a dependency - that's pretty clear and useful policy. Thus while leaving PKGNAMEPREFIX=hs- for e.g. darcs, while having the port in devel/darcs will ease life for users who want to install it, this brings up other problems, such as not seeing expected darcs-X.Y.Z in pkg_info and not being able to do `portupgrade darcs-*`, so I really think it should not have any prefix at all, along with other end-user ports. -- Dmitry Marakasov . 55B5 0596 FF1E 8D84 5F56 9510 D35A 80DD F9D2 F77D [email protected] ..: jabber: [email protected] http://www.amdmi3.ru _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
