By the way, I forgot to mention that one of the nice things about the PORTNAME/VERSION change is that we can add an optional REVISION field in the future without screwing up Latest links and all the other stuff, if we decide to go this direction. * From: Kris Kennaway <kris@FreeBSD.org> * It needs to be developed further by someone before we could adopt/reject * it, I agree. I only mentioned it because it was related to the topic under * discussion and we were chatting about it the other day on IRC. At this Also, Red Hat does this already. Not that we have to follow suit, but it's not like a totally original (and absurd) idea. I'm not sure if it's really necessary, but we have done some things in the past (often involving shared libraries) that would have had benefited from an additional revision field in the package name.
