It's by no means clear if you just ask for the gimp or gimp.app what you may end up with.
If RFEs are being taken note of, perhaps a text response when the user requests an ambiguous port name might be in order for a later release of the ports system.
Hm, "gimp" is not ambigious. But maybe the ports should be named different. gimp and gimp2 are just too confusing, I think.
[/Users/paul]# port list gimp* gimp @2.4 graphics/gimp gimp-app @2.4.0 aqua/gimp-app gimp-gap @2.2.2 graphics/gimp-gap gimp-jp2 @0.1 graphics/gimp-jp2 gimp-lqr-plugin @0.3.0-6 graphics/gimp-lqr-plugin gimp-print @4.2.7 print/gimp-print gimp-user-manual @0.13 graphics/gimp-user-manual gimp2 @2.4.3 graphics/gimp2 You don't think the first two and the last one are ambiguous?
Solutions: a) Rename gimp2 to gimp and gimp to gimp-extra b) Leave gimp as it is and rename gimp2 to gimp-base
Or ask what users would expect and do that. -- Paul Beard / www.paulbeard.org/ <paulbeard@gmail.com/paulbeard@gmail.com>
