#20053: Document the port naming convention of replacing ++ with xx ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Reporter: blb@… | Owner: markd@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: guide | Version: 1.8.0 Keywords: | Port: ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Several ports whose "true" name have ++ in their names (libsigc++, libxml++, mysql++, and others) have the plus signs replaced with the letter x (libsigcxx2, libxmlxx, mysqlxx). This is the convention we've picked (and is also used in other project names directly like libpqxx), but we have no current documentation for it in the guide. This should be added someplace. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/20053> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

To avoid special interpretation by shells and the like, names should contain only alphanumeric characters, underscores, dashes or dots. For projects whose proper names contain “+” characters, change these to “x” (i.e. “libstdc++” becomes “libstdcxx”). }}} -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/20053#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
