The convention is that such subports should not conflict with one another, which is what they would do if they all tried to install the file "exiftool" to the same bin directory. We could offer a "select" package for exiftool, which would be a shortcut for creating an "exiftool" symlink pointing to whichever version you installed. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45312#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

I've manually created a symlink from "exiftool" to "exiftool-5.16". A select package that accomplishes the same thing automatically seems like a fine approach. I'm very new to MacPorts and suspect there's a standard approach for doing this kind of thing. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45312#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
