It came to my attention today that PORTVERSION can vary with OSVERSION. Is this a recommended practice? For that matter can it vary with ARCH? I ask mainly because FreshPorts does not cater for this at present. Given that I'm now working on making FreshPorts both OSVERSION and ARCH independent, I wanted to gather more information before proceeding with the design. I was preparing to make FreshPorts aware that FORBIDDEN and BROKEN may vary with OSVERSION and ARCH, and nothing else. -- Dan Langille : http://www.langille.org/ BSDCan - The Technical BSD Conference - http://www.bsdcan.org/
