This has been a minor annoyance for ages. The > port should be named mplayer, always. Yes, please! Ports which change their name are very annoying, especially for people working with VuXML since we have to list all possible names there. When there is a 1-to-1 mapping of possible names and slave ports, then it's no problem, it's the other ones that are painful... I just haven't had the energy to really take this up with the maintainers for the ports that does this. --=20 Simon L.
