>Description:
The binary name that the science/openbabel port installs is
called babel. This is the same as the binary installed by the
biology/babel port. These two ports have the same purpose and
openbabel is meant to be a replacement for babel, which is no
longer in development. However, the openbabel project does
not have all of the features of the original babel nor does it
support all of the file formats of the original. Therefore, the
older version of babel, installed by the biology/babel port, is
still very viable.
As such, I think the binary installed by openbabel should be
changed to something else. The name, "openbabel", seems like a
good choice. Perhaps some others feel that the older babel port
should change its name though. Either way, one of them must be
changed to avoid the conflict.
>How-To-Repeat:
<code/input/activities to reproduce the problem (multiple
lines)>
>Fix:
Change the name of the installed binary from babel to
something else for either the science/openbabel port or the
biology/babel port. No patch provided because a decision needs
to be made about which one changes. I vote for having the
science/openbabel port install its binary name as "openbabel".
