    initial v1  
    11Apparently I'm not the only one who has ended up with `libev` and `libevent` both installed as dependencies (of `lighttpd` and `tmux` respectively) :-(

    3 The original requesters suggestion of putting the ''one conflicting file'' in its own package which is ''optional'' (install for compatibility), and having ''just that compatibility package'' conflict with `libevent` seems much less disruptive than just making `livev` and libevent` conflict with each other to avoid renaming a file (in a way that it has been renamed in MacPorts for years).

    55Alternatively, if `libev` and `libevent` are intended to somewhat interchangable, perhaps it'd be plausible to convert one of `tmux` and/or `lighttpd` to use the ''same'' library?  (But that sounds like more work than just reducing the scope of the conflict to a manageable size.)
