Description John E. Hein 2006-02-14 02:20:03 UTC

bin/git is installed devel/git, devel/cogito and misc/git.

Fix: 

Set CONFLICTS in each port.  Or install bin/git under a different name
in some of them.
How-To-Repeat: 
grep 'bin.git$' devel/cogito/pkg-plist devel/git/pkg-plist misc/git/pkg-plist
devel/cogito/pkg-plist:bin/git
devel/git/pkg-plist:bin/git
misc/git/pkg-plist:bin/git

Comment 2 John E. Hein 2006-02-14 20:10:39 UTC

Since devel/git & devel/cogito are pretty much the same thing in spirit,
I think they should use CONFLICTS with each other.

As far as the package name itself for devel/git, maybe just rename it
to git-cm or git-dcm or the like (since it's the new kid on the block).

misc/git is not really a conflict with the devel/*git* ports other
than an unfortunate name clash.  Despite the fact that it has
seniority, I suspect that it gets little use (and devel/*git* will get
more).  So I think the installed binaries & man pages of misc/git
should be prefixed with an additional 'g' (like gawk, and gcp, etc.) -
or something like that.  This would require a revision bump and the
devel/*git* ports would register CONFLICTS with any incarnation of the
misc/git port prior to the bump.

Sorry I don't have any better suggestion.  If that's deemed no good
just put CONFLICTS in all of them, and let the user figure out a way
around it if he really wants to.
