I have need of the unixodbc version of the PostgreSQL odbc drivers and need to have other packages depend on it. Thus I not only need the compilation option provided in the port makefile via the DRIVER_MANAGER variable but I also need the name of the produced package to be different from the normal one. The standard way of indicating compilation options in package names is by the use of PKGNAMESUFFIX. I've attached a patch which does this. It's done so that the current default package name doesn't change. Using -iodbc instead of the current -odbc would probably be better but that would entail changing the current default package name and breaking existing dependencies.
Hi, As the maintainer, I like what I see. Anyone who has the right to commit, please do so. Just don't bump any PORTREVISIONs, please. Cheers, Palle
