Because we plan import new version Zope into portstree , it will create many new ports, so we only discuss this problem related to zope. Historically in FreeBSD portstree it had at least 3 kinds of naming of these zope-related ports, for example, now I shall create zope.browser ports,: 1) py-zope.browser 2) py-zopeBrowser 3) py-zope-browser which name is the best choice? I remember lwshu@ emailed the similar problem to portsmgr@ to ask for the answer but did not get a explicit one. I do not know which one is the best choice , but I think better we shall use the same naming type for all these zope-related ports. Because there were many zope-related ports in current portstree use the choice 1, so I think better rename others to the same naming type. wen > > mcl > >
