Hi all, just a quick question: When there are multiple versioned ports (like www/apache13 and www/apache2) PORTNAME shouldn't be versioned (i.e. apache), that's how I understand the FreeBSD Porter's Handbook, 4.2.4 Package Naming Conventions: <http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/makefile-naming.html#PORTING-PKGNAME>; Examples are: mail/cyrus-imapd, mail/cyrus-imapd2 and mail/cyrus-imapd22 security/cyrus-sasl and security/cyrus-sasl2 mail/exim-old, mail/exim devel/autoconf, devel/autoconf213, devel/autoconf253, devel/autoconf257 devel/automake, devel/automake14, devel/automake15, devel/automake17 Now Christian Kratzer told me that this policy is about to change: <http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2003-July/002646.html>; Did I misinterpret the porter's handbook or do I overlook the advantages of having versioned PORTNAMEs? Thanks for your insight Oliver
