 |
|
Is there any chance of one of these packages being renamed to cut out issues and some confusion? I've had a problem causing because of both being "texinfo" on three installs now, and further I think all ports should be renamed differently anyway.

hehe - yes - but exactly the same name for two packages is really inconvenient...
