Hello,

while working on obsoleting Rails 3 from the ports, i stumble across various unclear cases. For example:

1) how to handle different copies of an gem with different rails-dependencies. For example www/rubygem-haml-rails and www/rubygem-haml-rails-rails4. Both have the same function, but the first is outdated.

2) how to handle ports which seems not to be required any more. databases/rubygem-dm-* for example seems to be left alone and there is no non-rubygem-port requiring this. I would set the complete tree of ports to expiration in this case.

3) how to handle slaves? there were -rails4 ports which are purely slaves to set the dependency to rails 4 instead of 3. Updating the master to rails 4 dependency obsoletes the slave. I would prefer to: update the master, obsolete the slave and switch dependencies of ports from the slaves to the master.

What is your opinion?

Greetings,
Torsten
