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?
