Is this really necessary? I noticed this change when I updated my ports tree, and frankly I hate it. The toolkits and libraries that a package uses shouldn't get tacked onto the package name; should we also have sawfish-gnome-gtk-xlib-libc-0.31.1? Also, it breaks pkg_version, which is really annoying: # pkg_version -v [ elided ] sawfish-gnome-0.31.1 ? unknown in index [ elided ] xscreensaver-gtk-3.24 ? unknown in index Please consider backing out this change. Thanks. --nat -- nat lanza --------------------- research programmer, parallel data lab, cmu scs magus@cs.cmu.edu -------------------------------- http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~magus/ there are no whole truths; all truths are half-truths -- alfred north whitehead To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
