It's a bit unusual in that the other ports in the set are py25-gtk, > py26-gtk and py27-gtk (not *-gtk2).

I like the py-gtk2 port name, but that would mean marking all the py2*-gtk ports replaced_by py2-*gtk2... > > You could try unifying py-gtkmvc too and updating it to the newest version, > but since only a Python 2.4 version exists now, and nothing depends on it, > and the port hasn't been updated since January 2005, that suggests nobody > uses this port, so you could also just "svn rm" it.

I agree with you, if something happenes we can always file a bug with the instructions to rebuild the port... -- Aljaž Srebrnič a.k.a g5pw My public key: http://bit.ly/g5pw_pubkey _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
