We currently have two naming schemes: foo and foo-devel: this means the ports install different versions of the same software to the same places; the ports conflict and are drop-in replacements for one another. Other ports declare dependencies on this port using path:-syntax. foo1, foo2, foo3: this means the ports install different versions of the same software to different places; the ports do not conflict. Other ports declare variants for each version they want to support. _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
