There is a package of a variety of tools, i2c-tools (http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/I2CTools). I want to port to FreeBSD only a single tool from that package, decode-dimms. How should I name my port, "i2c-tools" or "decode-dimms"? In my opinion, "decode-dimms" has an advantage of being honest and straightforward, but "i2c-tools" has an advantage of preserving the original upstream package name. In the future someone might want to port another tool from that package and instead of having to create a new port they could just add necessary patches and modify the install target and the plist. Thank you. -- Andriy Gapon
