My point was not only to draw attention to the matter but also to encourage you to propose a convention. Since that approach has failed I'll come up with a proposal:
I see it this way: * Yes, there should be a prefix for gnu ports * Yes, that prefix should be the same for the installed binary and the portname * No, it should not be "g" (easier to distinguish from gnome ports) * 'gnu' would be a possibility. The only conflict would be with gnuplot, which is not gnu software. but I guess that's possible to live with. Any opinion on this matter, anyone?

There are some inconsistencies when it comes to gnu ports e.g.: "tar" goes by the name "gnutar". its executable is called "gnutar" "sed" goes by the name "gsed". its executable is called "gnused" "which" goes by the name "gwhich". its executable is called "gwhich" Regards, Elias Pipping _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
