 Hi!
 
 1) PORTVERSION should be changed to something more meaningful,
 it's supposed to represent the products versions and will be
 updated with the each new release, so the packages management
 software like portupgrade might track the software updates.
 
 2) You should specify CONFLICTS section, as currently the
 development version will conflict with the stable one as they
 share the common executable. It's considered to be a good
 practice to install development version files under the
 different layout if possible - this way users will be
 able to have both the development and stable version
 installed.
 
 3) What is the current release cycle of net-im/qutim? Does
 it makes sense to have a development version of this software
 in ports?
