#32100: New port: R.app ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: kjell.konis@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: submission | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.0.3 Keywords: | Port: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by kjell.konis@…): Replying to [comment:1 ryandesign@…]:
You originally submitted R-framework as R.framework and we decided that a dot was unusual in a port name. Can this port be R-app as well then?
I remember. I did check this time and there is already one port (Yap.app) that has a dot app extension. In contrast there are none that have dot framework. This time it's a little trickier because a lot of people refer to the R GUI as R.app (as in R dot app) and it's that port that I expect people will install -- the name of the R-framework port is not so important since it will get installed as a dependency. Anyway, I don't really understand why there is a preference (or rule? or guideline?) for not having dots in port names. If you prefer to have the port named R-app let me know and I will make the change. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/32100#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
