It will show that there's a newer : version of the port available when someone increases PORTREVISION, : otherwise it will still flag it as being "up to date". That's one of the : major reasons for doing this in the first place. The other is so that when we do security advisories we can give an exact version that's not vulnerable. This would allow us in the future to also have a vulnerable version database that people can run out of their cron job each night to get mail when new vulnerabilities are discovered.
