Comment(by kjell.konis@…):

 Replying to [comment:1 ryandesign@…]:
 > You originally submitted R-framework as R.framework and we decided that
 a dot was unusual in a port name. Can this port be R-app as well then?

 I remember. I did check this time and there is already one port (Yap.app)
 that has a dot app extension. In contrast there are none that have dot
 framework. This time it's a little trickier because a lot of people refer
 to the R GUI as R.app (as in R dot app) and it's that port that I expect
 people will install -- the name of the R-framework port is not so
 important since it will get installed as a dependency. Anyway, I don't
 really understand why there is a preference (or rule? or guideline?) for
 not having dots in port names.  If you prefer to have the port named R-app
 let me know and I will make the change.
