Hi all, 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… Opinions, please! ! ! Jyrki Wahlstedt ! Kolmas linja 12 A 18 mob. +358-400-347 015 skype:jyrkiwahlstedt !

I vote for "/Applications/Ports" in case we need to change the name again. :-) On Oct 23, 2006, at 3:10 AM, Jyrki Wahlstedt wrote:

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)! On 23.10.2006, at 19.54, Dr. Ernie Prabhakar wrote:

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. Regards, Blair -- Blair Zajac, Ph.D. http://www.orcaware.com/svn/ Jyrki Wahlstedt wrote:

I have to agree that "MacPorts" would be better, for reasons 1-4.
