State Changed From-To: open->closed Commited, thanks! |
The binary name that the science/openbabel port installs is called babel. This is the same as the binary installed by the biology/babel port. These two ports have the same purpose and openbabel is meant to be a replacement for babel, which is no longer in development. However, the openbabel project does not have all of the features of the original babel nor does it support all of the file formats of the original. Therefore, the older version of babel, installed by the biology/babel port, is still very viable. As such, I think the binary installed by openbabel should be changed to something else. The name, "openbabel", seems like a good choice. Perhaps some others feel that the older babel port should change its name though. Either way, one of them must be changed to avoid the conflict. Fix: Change the name of the installed binary from babel to something else for either the science/openbabel port or the biology/babel port. No patch provided because a decision needs to be made about which one changes. I vote for having the science/openbabel port install its binary name as "openbabel".
