Pat, My choice of words, in particular the word "update", was probably not appropriate. It stems for the fact that OpenLDAP is largely an update of Umich 3.3 and that the construction of an OpenLDAP port would, I hope, a cut-and-paste effort. OpenLDAP should be a new port. In terms of naming, I would prefer any OpenLDAP port actually be named OpenLDAP (or openldap). I feel that users looking for a specific package should be able to find it under its known name. If I found BSD-Free listed somewhere, I don't think I would necessarily identify it containing being FreeBSD. I believe ports/packages should only be renamed if a conflict arises with other packages OR it does not fit within existing naming conventions.
