The reason for this is that the differences between the two versions is so great that by combining it all into one directory, all you're doing is combining two ports into one directory. Everything, from the distfiles to the dependencies to the patches to the installed files would be different. At that point, they really are two different versions of the same program. They get updated at different points, and a fix for one may or may not apply to the other. Besides, there's nothing to prevent a user from having both gkrellm1 and gkrellm2 installed. I do, so that I can test plugins for both. Having two ports installed from the same origin creates portupgrade madness. - -Adam - -- Adam Weinberger adam@vectors.cx adamw@FreeBSD.ORG -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.0 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE9tNhco8KM2ULHQ/0RAlqNAKCrXNwfNB8yne0OyhRifrX5UYNN1QCfdZ+N CegE1JlcOJ3DxY6czy8TBI0= =4tgI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
