Okay, but then the fork's name is poorly chosen: as a FreeBSD user I'd be rather confused as to why there are two FreeBSD ports, similarly named but one has explicit -FreeBSD suffix (note that this is quite unconventional on its own, not to mention the port/package name uglification it entails). > Building two separate projects [...] with different names Well, the *name* is actually the same. > coming from different repositories and version numbers from the same port > depending on an option looks even more strange to me. Oh, I see, so it's fucked up on all sides, not just ours. Let's hope both upstreams, DragonFly's and ours, can sort this out so we don't have to keep two pretty much identical ports in the tree. :-/ ./danfe
