<div dir="ltr"><div>As a contributor to ncarg (proj5), I like this change. Currently there are only 10 ports that depend on the traditional "proj" which is really proj5 under the hood.

<br>
I'd like to propose to simplify the maintainance of the PROJ ports, which has<br>
become unnecessary cumbersome and in many cases leading to installments of<br>
multiple versions only because different ports are out-of-sync in respect to<br>
default proj variant.<br>
<br>
The PROJ ports available now:<br>
<br>
port version<br>
---------------<br>
proj4 4.9.3<br>
proj 5.2.0<br>
proj6 6.3.2<br>
proj7 7.2.1<br>
proj8 8.2.1<br>
proj9 9.2.1<br><br>
It would be better to use the port name 'proj' for the latest version available<br>
(independent of major version), which now is version 9.2.1. The present port<br>
'proj', which is version 5.2.0, should be renamed to 'proj5'. Like this:<br>
<br>
port version<br>
---------------<br>
proj4 4.9.3<br>
proj5 5.2.0<br>
proj6 6.3.2<br>
proj7 7.2.1<br>
proj8 8.2.1<br>
proj 9.2.1<br><br>
The day when there is a new major version, e.g. 10.0.0, the 'proj' port will be<br>
updated accordingly and 'proj9' will keep the 9.x.y version:<br>
<br>
port version<br>
---------------<br>
proj4 4.9.3<br>
proj5 5.2.0<br>
proj6 6.3.2<br>
proj7 7.2.1<br>
proj8 8.2.1<br>
proj9 9.2.1<br>
proj 10.0.0<br>
<br>
The ports with 'proj' dependency, which are actively updated and maintained,<br>
will in this way be kept in sync with less risk of installing multiple versions.<br>
Ports, which do not support later versions of PROJ, can keep the pinned version.<br><br>
