Correct me if I'm wrong. But the "end product" you are speaking of is the binary package, which has a name of its own and is defined in the ports Makefile. Its nearly completely meaningless for the enduser if the directory name was postgresql or postgresql7. My personal opineon is, that postgresql7 and postgresqlN is more informative, since it shows you already during directory listing, that it deals with version 7 of the postgresql database. -- Andreas Klemm Powered by FreeBSD SMP Songs from our band >>64Bits<<............http://www.apsfilter.org/64bits.html My homepage................................ http://people.FreeBSD.ORG/~andreas Please note: Apsfilter got a NEW HOME................http://www.apsfilter.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
