Hi Gerhard,
Good question.
USES=uniquefiles (or the same thing via USE_PYTHON=concurrent) *may* be
able to help you here, though I haven't seen it attempted (yet) for rc
scripts specifically.
For example, USE_PYTHON='concurrent' is a specific instantiation/use of
Uses/uniquefiles.mk, which creates version-specific copies of files,
with default filenames (optionally) symlinked to the version-suffixed
counterparts, for a certain set of files (script in localbase/bin, man
pages etc) in python ports.
You may either be able to:
a) 'extend' the list of files python.mk already looks for, for
prefixing/suffixing the rc script, or
b) use uniquefiles.mk variables directly in the port
Hope that helps.
