Description cache 2015-01-31 10:20:14 UTC
Vivaldi browser is not open source software and installed from binary deb package. Thus package name without tailing "-bin" misinforms about it's nature.

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-01-31 10:27:04 UTC
No.

The LICENSE variable and all the documents in ${PORTDIR}/licenses are intended to convey the nature of the source code and its derivatives, not awkward suffixes to package names. Additionally, packages should need the -bin suffix only when there is a source-built variant as well. Which there isn't in this case.
