I've installed the lastest version of KMess on my computer manually because the lastest version in ports is very old and I've emailed the maintainer but my emails get bounced back. So I thought I'd create a *new* port because, while current port used qt3, the latest version uses qt4. I have some questions.
1. kmess (kmess-1.5pre) already exists in ports, can I create a new port called kmess2 (kmess-2.0.2)? And if so, can the PORTNAME in the Makefile still be kmess even though there is already another one?
2. The configure from the kmess-2.0.2.tar.gz file uses bash, (i.e. #!/bin/bash), it was easy enough for ME to configure this manually on my system using bash, but how do I set the port so that i) bash is a dep, and ii) bash is used to configure the port?
I hope these questions are clear enough, thanks.
