I think leaving the cups port to be the main install, lacking just the bsd and system V printing will be a good thing. This way nobody has to change their dependency to be 'safe' from clobbering things later. > > For the libs, headers, and docs: How about cups-libs? cups-runtime? If I were to make cups a meta port, and split off both other parts I would call the main one cups-base, as that is really what it is. > > For the lpr-programs: How about cups-lp[r] or cups-lp[r]-bin?

Any votes on the name? More importantly, has anybody tested the new ports? I am most curious to know how well it will work without the current named cups-bin port.
