Hi,

After a recent upgrade of some ports that require netpbm as a dependency,
they compiled and have installed graphics/netpbm on my system.

The above is perfectly fine until the point that I realized that it was
installed and what I already had was graphics/netpbm-devel on my system.

Upon closer inspection of both; one (graphics/netpbm) is the master port
and the other (graphics/netpbm-devel) is the slave port or meta-port and
neither of these list any CONFLICTS besides the master port listing
mgetty-* as a dependency.

- From first glance through this matter it seems like these were created to
ease the administration of both ports; but can this be done and yet still
track CONFLICTS properly ? If so can the conflicts be added to these...

If not, can these two ports be separated ? I don't see any convenience
having a meta-port for these ports.

And yes I know about the WITH_NETPBM_DEVEL=yes, but there is no obvious
place where it is documented that you should use this to only get the
graphics/netpbm-devel port and if you don't, then you risk installing both
when you upgrade any software that requires graphics/netpbm.

PS:

With how these ports are configured right now if you define
WITH_NETPBM_DEVEL=yes and try to upgrade the netpbm-devel installed port
it will fail to upgrade itself if graphics/netpbm has a listed
CONFLICT?=netpbm-devel-*


With all do respect,

Regards,
