Either py-snappy or python-snappy, but since "py-" is a > standard for FreeBSD ports, "python-" should be removed IMHO. > > The current target state (from Python@'s point of view) is: * Match upstream PyPi name, AND * py- prefix Unless there is a VERY compelling case *not* to do so. Exceptions to this *may* be pure CLI utility or "end-user" products, such as: sysutils/bsdploy devel/buildbot Even the above examples may not ultimately last as prefix-less ports in the tree longer term. There have been packaging naming conflicts in the past (some that still exist) due to the lack of a clear and consistent convention. One example is: twitter and python-twitter There are numerous others, and will continue to be in the future as upstreams control the names of their projects and packages. Kubilayhome | help
