For the record; I am not suggesting that you change the name of the port itself. But rather, that you might want to consider changing the name of the _executable_. What you say is _quite_ true. The name of the port indeed _should_ reflect it's intended use, and origin. I completely agree. :) I hope my intention is now more clear. :) --Chris -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
