redundant ports: py27-pydot & py27-dot, py26-pydot & py26-dot

Reported by: mndavidoff (Monte Davidoff) Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.1.1
Keywords: Cc: singingwolfboy@…, phw@…
Port: py-dot, py27-dot, py26-dot, py27-pydot, py26-pydot

Description

These ports:

py27-dot @1.0.28
py26-dot @1.0.28

and these ports:

py27-pydot @1.0.25
py26-pydot @1.0.25

install the same software: the Python pydot module from the pydot project on googlecode.

On one hand, py-dot (py27-dot, py26-dot) is unified and has a newer version number.

On the other hand, at least to me, the names py27-pydot and py26-pydot are preferable, since the Python module is called pydot. Also, the py26-pygraph-dot and py26-pebl ports depend on py26-pydot.

I suggest fixing this by removing the existing py27-pydot and py26-pydot ports and then renaming the py-dot port (and its subports) to py-pydot.

CORRECTION: There is no py27-pydot port. I forgot this was a local portfile I have because I wanted to use py26-pydot with Python 2.7, and I had not gotten to submitting it yet. It doesn't look like I can edit the original ticket title and description to remove the incorrect information. There still is a redundancy between py26-pydot and py-dot and its subport py26-dot. Sorry for the confusion.
