If you want to take this approach just note in the PR that all three must be committed together. > Should we rename the existing ports to sguil6-sensor -server and -client > (or sguil-sensor6 - server6 -client6) and then install the new ones as new > ports named as the present ones are? Only if there is a desire to support/maintain the old version. If you want to take this approach you should ask for a repocopy of sguil-sensor to sguil6-sensor and then have the update apply to sguil-sensor, so that history is maintained. Same goes for the other ports. > Should we rename the barnyard slave port to barnyard-sguil? If it is not tied to a specific version of sguil then I'd say it should be renamed (via a repocopy, as to maintain history). > I'm not sure what the best way is to proceed. The easiest thing to do would be to update the ports without a repocopy and note in the PR that the updates must be applied together. And for the update of barnyard I'd rename it to remove the "6" if possible. > A gzipped tarball of the three new ports is attached in case anyone wants > to test them.

Unfortunately I can't review these changes at this time. -- WXS
