I understand that. > I don't understand why you talk about port names here, are you talking > about the change, or are you making a suggestion of checking for dots > in port names? The latter. I meant something like, "since you're here fixing .core issue with periodic scripts, maybe it makes sense to issue warning for any usage of dots in the port names, as doing so 1) makes names look less pretty; 2) introduces inconsistency in a family of ports (see e.g. science/py-obspy*). I am aware that few people care for aesthetic appeal, but I do, hence the suggestion. ./danfe _______________________________________________ cvs-all@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "cvs-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
