Please rename /ports to /bsd-ports, and what to do about /ports?

Question

This is a follow-up to Splitting the ports tag

Today I found that out of 24 questions tagged ports, there were:

• 12 about FreeBSD ports
• 10 about TCP or UDP ports
• one about GPIO ports
• one about a port of non-unix software

Since moderators can rename tags, please rename ports to bsd-ports, to avoid confusion. Please copy the tag wiki.

I retagged the TCP/IP ports questions to ip, tcp or udp as appropriate, but maybe we should have a ports tag. Perhaps a synonym of tcp, as UDP is a rare case? Or a tcpip-ports? Or tcp-ports and udp-ports as synonyms of tcp and udp? Should we ban ports?

---

Revising a year later, I retagged 12 ports questions to tcp. The TCP ports meaning seems to be gaining a little over the BSD meaning, which shows that ports shouldn't be about BSD ports. I still haven't seen a real point to tcpip-ports as a separate tag.

Answer 1

I don't know what to do about questions about ports in the networking sense, but I did the ports → bsd-ports rename
