It might be more clear to rename along the lines of: vtk @5.2.1 vtk-devel @5.4 vtk4 @4.4.2 I'm not sure how best we might handle renaming the existing ports to match this scheme, but it would follow the scheme of keeping the "port named without a version" as the latest, stable release. I also need to fix the case-sensitive handling of the directory versus the port name. Any thoughts? >Many of these separate packages in Debian and FreeBSD probably equate to >'variants' in a macport. That's true. MacPorts provides the extra language bindings in variants rather than separate ports, unless the demand hasn't been made to enable a particular binding either by default or as a variant.
