Comment(by ciserlohn@…):

 Replying to [comment:1 ryandesign@…]:
 > Right. See [comment:ticket:28799:8] where I asked the author of the new
 play port if this conflict was necessary or if there was a way to avoid
 it. Failing a response to that inquiry, I guess we'll have to add the
 conflict to the sox port as in your patch.

 Sorry about that. I got the the notification mail that you committed the
 play port while I was on vacation. After being home again, I had simply
 forgotten that issue because the ticket was already closed.

 While I've didn't tested it yet, it should be possible to install the play
 binary under a different name. But I wouldn't recommend to do so because
 the play port only installs this one binary. If it is only available under
 a different name, no one could use the macports version of play like it is
 described on the play homepage, various articles on the internet or in
 printed java magazines. This gives the users of the
 macports version of play a really bad user experience.

 As I understand it, it's not possible to indicate a specific port variant
 for the "conflicts" keyword? Maybe we could add a second non-conflicting
 play port and add appropriate notes to all three ports (play, play-nc and
 sox)?  Any suggestions?
