Re: VTK port naming conventions

2009-04-27 Thread Darren Weber
I have not had enough experience with VTK to know how compatible it is across minor version releases. To provide flexibility, I've assumed that vtkXY should be sufficient to provide the major.minor (X.Y) version specificity for any port that depends on VTK (ie, I've not considered vtkXYZ

Proposed summary: Where possible, do not use portmajorminor (eg: vtk54), rather port should be the latest STABLE version (eg: the port named 'vtk' should contain 5.2.x at the time of this writing). Any version of a port that is near the cutting edge must have the -devel suffix on the port name
