should we change /Applications/DarwinPorts/ to /Applications/ MacPorts/ ? This is not a functional issue, it just would make the system a more consistent one. One of my ports is going to have a new version soon, and I am tempted to do this…
I vote for "/Applications/Ports" in case we need to change the name again. :-)
This is very much ok for me. If there are no objections, I'll do it this way with the next version (when it comes out)!
I vote for /Applications/MacPorts for several reasons:
1) It keeps our name in the folder.
2) I like the name /Applications/MacPorts better :)
3) It's better for somebody who goes on a system that has MacPorts installed and doesn't know what it is. If they saw a Ports directory, going a Google for 'Ports' wouldn't tell them much, while Googling for 'MacPorts' would find us.
4) I doubt we'll do another rename.
5) I've got commits already into /Applications/MacPorts, such as XEmacs, before this thread.
Maybe we should have more input from other other committers.
I have to agree that "MacPorts" would be better, for reasons 1-4.
