Comment(by howarth@…):

 Replying to [comment:2 ryandesign@…]:
 > Ok, so in MacPorts parlance, this would be a request to create an
 openmotif22 port.

 The key point is that programs built against the current openmotif package
 shouldn't have to be[[BR]]
 deactivated everytime one wants to run a program built against the new
 openmotif22 package.[[BR]]
 In fink this is achieved by having the shared libraries from each motif
 package exist in *-shlibs split-off[[BR]]
 packages. Too bad MacPorts doesn't support some form of partial de-
 activation where certain files[[BR]]
 such as the shared libraries could be left in place while the rest of the
 package's files are de-activated.
