Hi Lexi, Fair enough. Thanks, Ravi (rpokala@) -----Original Message----- From: <owner-src-committers@freebsd.org <mailto:owner-src-committers@freebsd.org>> on behalf of Lexi Winter <ivy@freebsd.org <mailto:ivy@freebsd.org>> Date: Sunday, February 22, 2026 at 22:39 To: Ravi Pokala <rpokala@freebsd.org <mailto:rpokala@freebsd.org>> Cc: Dag-Erling Smørgrav <des@freebsd.org <mailto:des@freebsd.org>>, <src-committers@freebsd.org <mailto:src-committers@freebsd.org>>, <dev-commits-src-all@freebsd.org <mailto:dev-commits-src-all@freebsd.org>>, <dev-commits-src-main@freebsd.org <mailto:dev-commits-src-main@freebsd.org>> Subject: Re: d4f6cb754249 - main - build: Move all of lp under LPR option Ravi Pokala wrote in <CD3A1A13-5A23-4714-8BE9-4CBA97A8AA4F@panasas.com <mailto:CD3A1A13-5A23-4714-8BE9-4CBA97A8AA4F@panasas.com>>: > Why is the package "lp", when the conditional uses "LPR"? i named this package "lp" because it contains support for (line) printers. i suppose you could argue that "lpr" might be a more suitable name on BSD since that's what the traditional frontend is called, but either seems fine to me. > Shouldn't they match? there isn't generally any corresponence between package names and src.conf options, except where this happens naturally, and even when the same name is used, they don't always mean the same thing. for example, WITHOUT_SENDMAIL controls both sendmail and libmilter, but in pkgbase these are two separate packages, so even though the src.conf option has the same name, it means something different. so, as a general rule, there's no particular effort made to ensure package names match src.conf option names.home | help
