Is there any directive in ports that defines two ports as beeing
mutually exclusive ? I've had bad experiences when I installed apache
in a machine which already had cern httpd (just to test the new server).
Something that could be also good are port "classes". If some port
needs tk, and I already have tk4.1 installed, why force tk8.1 to be
installed ? I'd like to be able to specify that my port needs the
"class" tk port, version equal or above 4.1. Of course, a package
would need a different behaviour. It should ask for a class equal
or above the one with which it has been compiled (calculated at make
time).
Note that the ports belonging to the same "class" could be or not
mutually exclusive. For example, apache and cern httpd are
mutually exclusive, but the tk/tcl libs are not, and somebody may
have more than one for compatibility or testing purposes.
Is there something similar to these already in the ports system ?
