I prefer #2 as well. One I've thought about it, installing the headers and libs, while enough for KDE to work, is sufficient only for buildling other software, not for running it, nor for the users. That is, runtime still needs cupsd; users still need the docs, etc., even if they aren't gonna use the lp* programs. HEY! Cupsd can probably even forward to BSD lpd as if it was a *remote* lpr printer daemon.... oooh, how 'bout that? BSD lpr or LPRng and cups co-existing, and even printing to the same printers? Wow! There's an idea! Names? Lemme see... There oughta be a meta-port, cups, which builds/packages/installs the other two, so someone can still 'cd ports/print/cups && make install' and get what they expect. For the libs, headers, and docs: How about cups-libs? cups-runtime? For the lpr-programs: How about cups-lp[r] or cups-lp[r]-bin? That's what it *is*. I think any name should have lp or lpr in the name. I don't like cups-bin because I would expect that the cupsd daemon, being a binary, would be in cups-bin. -- Alan Eldridge #include free(sklyarov); To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
