Any opinions? > Just please make sure that math/qhull (no version suffix) exists continually and is compatible with all dependent ports. You might consider using qhull-legacy and qhull-devel for previous and future versions instead of qhull7, qhull8, etc. This will eliminate the need to keep renaming the ports and patching dependents. This is an ongoing problem since we don't have a mechanism for smoothly transitioning when port names change. ( Pkgsrc has SUPERSEDES=previous-name for this purpose. ) Thanks for your work on this, JB -- Life is a game. Play hard, play fair, and have fun...
