Created attachment 259699 [details] Unified port with three FLAVORs for net/geocode-glib While minimizing dependency-variants, I found net/geocode-glib2 depends on net/geocode-glib, which implies having libsoup(-2.) and libsoup3 installed at the same time. The reason is a somewhot unfortunate hack to solve a duplicate file install problem. Please find attached a patch for a unified port of geocode-glib, which solves the problem that two legitimately parallel installed packages would need to installing files in the same place, by introducing FLAVORs. Besides the obvious v1api and v2api FLAVORs, there's also a icons FLAVOR which both other FLAVORs depend on. So you'll always have geocode-glib-icons as run time dependency, but only the libsoup version corresponding to the geocode-glib API version selected. There's a strong default for version 2. Package name for version 2 will be the same as previously, but version 1 package name will have the digit appended now (i.e. geocode-glib1, which in my opinion better indicates that geocode-glib-icons is API version independent). Ports depending on libgeocode-glib-2.so will need to be adjusted to depend on net/geocode-glib instead of net/geocode-glib2. Ports depending on libgeocode-glib.so will need to be adjusted to depend on net/geocode-glib@apiv1 instead of net/geocode-glib.
