Hi,

The new version of postgis (2.5) is coming soon. I'm preparing the tests 
to integrate it into our ports. I take this opportunity to ask you a 
general question about the status of postgis in our ports.

As for postgresql, with each postgis version, we have a port 
(databases/postgis2(1,2,3,4 and soon 5). I proposed some time ago, to be 
able to manage these versions with a USE ( 
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=213038 ) which from my 
point of view allows to simplify dependencies as for pgrouting ( 
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=225264 )

I wonder if we should continue to maintain all versions and in this 
case, we should go ahead with the framework (or other ideas?).
Another possibility is simply to delete the different versions and only 
propose the last one; I will prepare the patch for the postgis25 release.

What do you think of that?

Regards

Loïc
