This is a nice idea.:)


I suggested this subject in japanese ports group mailing-lists
before(*1).
# *1: http://home.jp.freebsd.org/cgi-bin/showmail/ports-jp/8638
# I'm sorry this is written in Japanese.

${PKG_DBDIR}/${PORTNAME}/${VERSION}/+COMMENT
${PKG_DBDIR}/${PORTNAME}/${VERSION}/+CONTENTS
${PKG_DBDIR}/${PORTNAME}/${VERSION}/+DESC
${PKG_DBDIR}/${PORTNAME}/${VERSION}/+REQUIRED_BY
${PKG_DBDIR}/${PORTNAME}/${VERSION}/+{INSTALL|DEINSTALL|REQUIRE}

If the same port's name may be use, we should select the following tree:

${PKG_DBDIR}/(category)/${PORTNAME}/${VERSION}/+COMMENT
${PKG_DBDIR}/(category)/${PORTNAME}/${VERSION}/+CONTENTS
${PKG_DBDIR}/(category)/${POPTNAME}/${VERSION}/+DESC
${PKG_DBDIR}/(category)/${PORTNAME}/${VERSION}/+REQUIRED_BY
${PKG_DBDIR}/(category)/${PORTNAME}/${VERSION}/+{INSTALL|DEINSTALL|REQUIRE}


There are three way of describing VERSION variables:

   i.) ports version only
  ii.) distfiles version only
 iii.) distfiles+ports version.

If case i.), we should add the following administrative files:

${PKG_DBDIR}/${PORTNAME}/${VERSION}/+DISTVERSION

Case iii.) is the best way?


And by this change, we want to add the upgrade to the current 
ports system.

The following directives in +CONTENTS move to administrative files.

  - @name    => ${PKG_DBDIR}/${PORTNAME}/${VERSION}/+PKGNAME
  - @pkgdep  => ${PKG_DBDIR}/${PORTNAME}/${VERSION}/+DEPENDS_ON

# If we need to remain @name and +PKGNAME, we do the above. :)


"${PORTNAME}/${VERSION}" are listed in +REQUIRED_BY and DEPENDS_ON,
# Or "(category)/${PORTNAME}/${VERSION}".

When upgrading ports/packages, we must upgrading other ports/packages
listed in +DEPENDS_ON and +REQUIRED_BY.
