Hmmm...this might not be as easy as it sounds...I go to commit a change to a patch file, and then something needs to go check out the main Makefile, increment, and then check it back in. CVS has provisions to run some scripts on the server side at commit time (in fact this is how the commit logs get generated if I'm not mistaken) but I don't know how suitable this would be. > > I have to think about implications for pkg_version now, if any.

Sure...its version number parsing is ugly enough that one more hack isn't going to make much difference. :-p Bruce. --==_Exmh_-1865726131P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 5.0i for non-commercial use MessageID: aFqk2y3c19UipZqY76JHOeXg8HTzzHEz iQA/AwUBOXB/3djKMXFboFLDEQINqgCbBEI1XVrGyLnXue4pj+BfTFyf7MQAoO+N +brrf9eXNSgtvxtkKaMoPrs/ =XL2u -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_-1865726131P-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
