I think that we have enough packages that track VCS repositories. These packages differ from the rest in two points: a) they're not going to enter pkgsrc ever; I don't think this is true. Their is a notion that pkgsrc is more stable, but with some upstreams, like trac plugins, using a particular svn revision is the closest thing you will ever get to a release. b) they're updated rather regulary and are almost always in "ready" state. Because the svn/etc. revision is bumped frequently? That's kind of like frequent releases. I propose to mark them in some way or even move them from "wip" into separate subdirectory. Opinions? I don't understand exactly what you want to do, or what it would accomplish. What I think should happen (but I have not had enough Copious Spare Time) is to clean up the svn-package.mk etc. some (in particular, the notion that PKGREVISION has to be set to 0, I think). Then, move those files into real pkgsrc, so that packages using them can be moved.
