Duplicate ports with the same name, shou,d thy be banned/renamed?

2010-04-23 Thread Yuri

I see there are two ports:
/usr/ports/audio/mpc
/usr/ports/math/mpc

When I run 'pkg_add -r mpc' the first one gets installed, there is 'All' 
directory under packages, here all of them from all subdirectories are 
dropped.


Shouldn't duplication be banned?

This is where the LATEST_LINK entry in the port Makefile comes in.  If you
want to pkg_add math/mpc, use:

pkg_add -r math_mpc
