This seems to be more of application, not an extension or library; please see recent thread on cvs-ports@ about why giving ports proper names is important; 2) What is the reason behind `-devel' suffix? Is this development version, or some unstable beta? But there is no `py-gyp' or `pyg' ports, so even if it is unstable code, `-devel' suffix makes very little sense. I would personally suggest you to readd this as `pyg' unless sufficient rationale would arise from your answers to the aforementioned questions. Thanks. ./danfe
