The following reply was made to PR ports/125593; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Stanislav Sedov <stas@FreeBSD.org> To: Bakulin Ilya <webmaster@kibab.com> Cc: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: ports/125593: [new port] net-im/qutim-devel: development version of qutIM Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2008 21:15:53 +0400 Hi! 1) PORTVERSION should be changed to something more meaningful, it's supposed to represent the products versions and will be updated with the each new release, so the packages management software like portupgrade might track the software updates. 2) You should specify CONFLICTS section, as currently the development version will conflict with the stable one as they share the common executable. It's considered to be a good practice to install development version files under the different layout if possible - this way users will be able to have both the development and stable version installed. 3) What is the current release cycle of net-im/qutim? Does it makes sense to have a development version of this software in ports? -- Stanislav Sedov ST4096-RIPE
