My gut feeling is that sysutils/gag should remain the same and that security/gag should be renamed to security/gag-stacheldraht. pkg_upgrade behaves in this kind of situation in the following way: It checks the matching package names. If more than one package matches, it checks whether one matches an already installed origin. If only one of them is installed, it updates that one. If both are installed (very rare), it fails and the user has to provide an origin instead of a package name. Anyone vehemently opposed to this? The new name sounds reasonable, but it would probably make sense just to change LATEST_LINK rather than move the port. I agree, LATEST_LINK is the appropriate change. Port names are not unique identifiers. category/port is. -- A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting.

IMO this is a putative problem which shouldn't be fixed by renaming a port. But I'm just a lowly ports committer and not a member of portmgr. They also both have the UNIQUENAME of gag, so if they had options they would be stored in the same directory, I suspect there are potential problems with package names too. Whether or not any of this actually causes a problem with gag, it seems to me to be better to avoid creating a precedent. ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

That only works for installed ports, FYI. If a user has both gags installed and then runs portmaster gag, how should portmaster resolve the ambiguity? It won't, it will upgrade them both. OTOH, 2 ports with the same UNIQUENAME would be a problem for portmaster since it stores information about installed distfiles in /var/db/ports.
