However, there are a number of patches that have been incorporated into qpopper in the past that raise some questions. qpopper alters the names of all the binaries from popper* to qpopper*. I first thought that was done to avoid name conflicts with the port popper. However, upon investigating, the popper port is an older version of qpopper. Is there a reason to maintain two different versions of qpopper? Could we just have the current version as popper and use the original names for things? Is there a reason the qpopper binary is stored in /usr/local/libexec where the default qpopper installation is in /usr/local/sbin?
