Please see the Chapter "Package Names" in the handbook about guidelines of the version string. http://www.freebsd.org/porters-handbook/porting-pkgname.html 4. The version string should follow a dash (-) and be a period-separated list of integers and single lowercase alphabetics. In particular, it is not pormissible to have another dash inside the version string. The only ^ e exception is the string pl (meaning `patchlevel'), which can be used only when there are no major and minor version numbers in the software. If the software version has strings like "alpha", "beta", or "pre", take the first letter and put it immediately after a period. If the version string continues after those names, the numbers should follow the single alphabet without an extra period between them. So PORTVERSION= 2.0.r1 is better. P.S. Current composition of the handbook should be improved. It is good to move the chapter of package names to somewhere before descriptions of "PORTNAME and PORTVERSION". -- Tetsurou To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
