I believe that netbox is not this case, at least slightly different.
It's not old/new versions but LTS/non-LTS versions.
The ports with py-django- prefix follow the LTS version.
And we add djXX- prefix to non-LTS versions, e.g. py-dj{40,41}-.
When the new LTS django comes out, kai@ will update py-django-* ports.

Regarding gitlab, I guess you mean rubygem ports, I keep rubygem ports
mostly the way as plan 2.
In most cases, the port without suffix is the latest version and ports with
suffix are older versions.

I'd like to choose plan 2.

Guido, do you have a patch for podofo and calibre already?
Since podofo has only 5 dependent ports, it should be possible to test them
all with podofo (0.10.0) and move incompatible ones to podofo09.
