Hello, Some what recently a couple of the ports I maintain split into two, one being -server, and the other being -client. The code was more or less cloned then removed some make args/files that one would be used to enable both. Currently the code is so similar it would be possible to create a slave port and use the same patches, makefile and plist with minimal changes, however I have no idea the direction this split may go and this maybe short lived. So onto my topic for this post. Would it be better to create a new port with mostly duplicate code and remove/add the little changes required? Or as previously stated make a slave port and use the common code. I am struggling to decide on this and would appreciate opinions. Thanks Ultima
