Comment (by sean@…):

 Replying to [comment:1 nicos@…]:
 > I understand the motivation, but the two ports are gradually becoming
 more different with time, as OpenBLAS is not releasing new versions very
 often, while several enhancements have been pushed to the repository. This
 implies that while *-devel is being updated often, bugfixes have to be
 included in the standard release.
 > I am afraid that having the two of them in the same file could increase
 the risk of mistakes.
 >
 > Furthermore, having the two ports separate in a case like this is, at
 least to my knowledge, standard practice within Macports.

 I would disagree. There is so much code duplication between the two
 portfiles that it definitely makes sense to combine them. The patches and
 backports are trivial to separate. Please reconsider.
