Sorry for my inadvertence :(
Of course I ready to delete devel/otrs (I respect historical precedence).
But there are some notes:
1. I suppose "devel" category is better than "www" because Bugzilla is
placed inside "devel". Maybe it is not a good reason. Frankly, we need
some new category like "www-apps" (like in Gentoo).
2. I'm not happy with "www/otrs"'s Makefile. First of all, this port was
not even audited carefully before committing, for example:
* to make OPTIONS really working you need wrap section with WITH/WITHOUT
conditions with ".include <bsd.port.pre.mk>" and ".include
<bsd.port.post.mk>"
* many modules inside Kernel/cpan-lib/ should be cleaned out, because
they can conflict with installed from ports tree
* port's files was not patched to replace "/opt" with correct "${PREFIX}".
I suppose my port is a little bit cleaner but my option can not be very
objective ;)
As a solution, I see two ways:
1. I remove "www/otrs"
2. I can pass mainainership of "devel/otrs" to snb@threerings.net
3. Nick will merge all good features from "www/otrs"
or
1. I remove "devel/otrs"
2. Nick merge all good features (if any) from "devel/otrs" into "www/otrs".
So, I wait for your suggestions/opinions.
Anyway, I ready to review any changes/patches from Nick to "otrs" port
and commit them immediately.
