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.
