(In reply to Kurt Jaeger from comment #8)
I don't have any objections. The reason i went this way is I was thinking a=
bout
devel/capstone tracking latest stable version. devel/capstone4 is sort of an
exception (workaround) as it not stable yet, however, already in use. I gue=
ss
our options are:
1) devel/capstone tracks stable releases (v3 for now), devel/capstone4 beco=
mes
essentially devel/capstone-devel

or

2) rename devel/capstone to devel/capstone3, keep devel/capstone4 and then =
keep
adding new ports for any new major version.

Option 1 is easier on porter's side, however, looking at capstone project t=
hey
actually have various development branches which drastically differ, so not
clear which one to track.

Option 2 provides more variety to users and some flexibility to port
maintainers in case there are some outdated ports that use (or will use)
capstone. And actually nothing stops having devel/capstone in this case too.

Option 2 seems better to me now.
