Comment(by macports at sanityinc.com):
I'd vote for keeping a single port, even though I will personally need to
update my configs.
This *is* the new stable version, after all, and although the VCL syntax
isn't backwards-compatible, I'd have thought people would want their ports
to be updated to the latest stable versions by default. The varnish
experts who see that their varnish port will be update to 2.x can always
choose not to upgrade, and they can use activate/deactivate to switch
between installed versions.
The exception is where the port provides a service that is directly used
by user-written applications that might get broken, which is where
version-splitting can make sense (e.g. with postgresql-8.x), so that
multiple versions can be run in parallel.
I think it boils down to the following question: is it likely that a given
machine will need both Varnish 1.x and 2.x installed simultaneously? If
yes, then split the ports. Otherwise, stick with one. I'd guess at "no".
Just my 2c -- I can live with whatever you pick, and thanks maintaining
this port in the first place!
