More people apparently agreed this change. I attached the fix below. http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/14375 Closing this discussion. On Sat, Mar 8, 2008 at 1:55 PM, js <ebgssth@gmail.com> wrote:
BTW, Twisted Web2 is still under development and recommend using svn trunk until next release. So I assume there're not so many people using twisted web2 port. I think now is the time to fix this portname.

Then, is my request rejected? Who has the power to decide this kind of issue?

I noticed that twisted for python2.4 and 2.5 uses different name convension. I opened new ticket http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ ticket/14375
Shouldn' they use the same convension?
Sure, it would make sense for the common parts of the port name to be the same.
The problem is this breaks the upgrade path. Anybody with py25- twisted- web2 will lose the ability to update their port if it gets renamed to py25-twistedweb2. They'll have to discover this problem on their own and uninstall py25-twisted-web2 and install py25-twistedweb2.
The only workaround I can think of for this is to push a dummy update for py25-twisted-web2 that errors out on fetch with a message saying to uninstall and reinstall py25-twistedweb2, but that's ugly and unfriendly.
Still wish we had the "superseded_by" feature in MacPorts base so it would be easier to rename a port:
