I CC'ed ports@FreeBSD.org so that we can get some more opinions. As the maintainer of port net/openldap20 my first priority is to keep my customers happy, of course, so I appreciate feedback.

The openldap20 used to be called openldap (and not openldap2) in the times it lived in net/openldap2. The same is true for www/apache13 and www/apache2, mail/cyrus-imapd, mail/cyrus-imapd2 and mail/cyrus-imapd22, security/cyrus-sasl and security/cyrus-sasl2, mail/exim-old, mail/exim and multiple other ports. It is also consistent with the FreeBSD Porter's Handbook, 4.2.4 Package Naming Conventions: > People might think this is the main openldap port which is openldap21. > openldap20 is EOL and 22 is alpha. A quick survey on ports gives: find /usr/ports -name 'Makefile' -exec sed -ne 's,^.*:\${PORTSDIR}/\(net/openldap[0-9]*\).*$,\1,p' {} \; | sort | uniq -c 5 net/openldap 25 net/openldap12 37 net/openldap20 13 net/openldap21 So, as far as ports is concerned, net/openldap20 is still the most important of them. net/openldap22 is 2.2.0.a, which is clearly an alpha, but it's a pretty stable piece of software and the people at OpenLDAP do a great job - I'm running my own servers on openldap-2.2.0.a. Port mail/cyrus-imapd22 for example is alpha too, like www/apache2 was beta when it joined the ports tree. Should I put "This release is meant for testing purposes only, it is not for general use." in pkg-message (or pkg-descr) to warn people? I can find no port that did this, though... Regards Oliver
