I think there is a package that upgrades your ports makefiles to -STABLE if you look around the website. Alternativly you can always just upgrade your entire system to 4-STABLE or 4.1.1-RELEASE. If you're REALLY lazy, you can just edit the ports Makefile directly and change the PORTNAME=foo and PORTVERSION=0.0.0 into DISTNAME=foo-0.0.0, although this definatly not supported. -- _ _ _ ___ ____ ___ ______________________________________ / \/ \ | ||_ _|| _ \|___| | Jason Andresen -- jandrese@mitre.org / /\/\ \ | | | | | |/ /|_|_ | Views expressed may not reflect those /_/ \_\|_| |_| |_|\_\|___| | of the Mitre Corporation.
