I understand that some directories under the proposed scheme may be large, such as /p/p5, /p/py, /g/gn but it seems that this would not be any real change from the current situation for the perl, python, devel, and other directories that exist now.
I don't understand what this scheme buys us (other than port maintainers not having to choose a place to put a port).
But that should be easier to find where a port is located
easier than 'port dir portname' ?
(and the primary category could be changed more easily if need be).
How often does this really happen? (and svn mv isn't really that hard anyway).
Moreover, if this is implemented, I think that prefixes should be optional, so that those who use a local source with a few ports only could choose to avoid prefixes.
That might be a useful enhancement. -- Daniel J.
