We could have a linux_base port (no > version number) that did stuff that is the same for all linux ports. Not using a version number will have unforseen consequences. We could name it linux_prerequisite or something like this, but we shouldn't name it linux_base. We already have enough such ports. ATM we don't unregister a port in the RPM database on deletion. Would the suggestion result in the need to do this?
