I see no reason to keep an old version in the tree that nobody is likely using anymore if there is a newer version out. I'd say whatever you're working on should be an update of audio/teamspeak_server to version 3. The fact that it's been unmaintained for over a year now, and the last update was 2 years ago (to the day) makes me think that as the new maintainer you can do what you want and nobody is likely to care. :) > 2) Are there naming conventions?

See devel/git and the WITH_HTMLDOCS option which adds to DISTFILES. Just be sure to put all optional distfiles in distinfo. -- WXS
