We could rename the -rails4 ones as well, but then we'll have to change all the things that depend on them and it's not worth the effort. Besides, we're likely to hit the same issue with rails5 things so lets just be clear. > 2) how to handle ports which seems not to be required any more. > databases/rubygem-dm-* for example seems to be left alone and there is > no non-rubygem-port requiring this.

For rubygem-dm-* specifically I'd mark it deprecated and if someone speaks up and wants to maintain it, fine. > 3) how to handle slaves? there were -rails4 ports which are purely > slaves to set the dependency to rails 4 instead of 3.

Question: Isn't Rails 3.x still at least updated for security issues (if any are found) until Rails 5 comes out? We'll probably want to add Rails 5 at some point. Steve
