Hi! Anyone remember the reason behind this portlint warning and whether it can be ignored? (like several ports seem to do, even high-profile ones like boost-libs or docbook-xml...) WARN: Makefile: using hyphen in PORTNAME. consider using PKGNAMEPREFIX and/or PKGNAMESUFFIX. I'm sure there must have been a reason for the warning, but is it still valid? And in case it matters, my specific case would be vdr plugin ports, up to now I had my shars install them as vdr_plugin_foo-<version> because of the warning, but since I still have the port dirs named vdr-plugin-foo there was concern about this being an inconsisteny, and also I somehow like the names with hyphens better. :) Or should I really set PKGNAMEPREFIX= vdr-plugin- like the warning suggests? Most of the plugin distfiles are named like vdr-foo-<version>.tgz in case it matters, example: vdr-streamdev-0.5.1.tgz for vdr-plugin-streamdev. Thanx, Juergen
