kile-devel to stable version

I don't know if there's a policy, but kile-kde4 would seem like a more descriptive name. I can't really find any port names of that form, though. Alternatively kile21, (like python25. emacs22, etc)

Subject: kile-devel to stable version

Hello,

Currently, Macports holds kile in two versions, being kile for KDE3 (ver. 2.0.1), and kile-devel for KDE4 (ver. 2.1b5). Recently, kile 2.1 for KDE4 has been released as a stable package. I would thus to transfer kile to a stable port, and if I understand correctly Macports policy, I should do the following steps:

1. Create a new portfile kile2 (is the name appropriate ?) for the stable version of KDE4, which conflicts with kile-devel
2. Upgrade kile-devel, make it conflict with kile2, and make it as a stub port indicating that kile2 should be employed instead.

Is indeed this approach correct ? and if yes, would there be an example of this type of stub port that I could employ as reference to create these new ports ?

Thanks in advance,

Nicolas
