Hi there, I am preparing a patch for a port (archivers/libz4) that I am = maintaining. The versioning scheme upstream originally used was for instance: rXXX e.g. r123 When they changed to=20 vX.Y.Z e.g. v1.8.1 I had to up PORTEPOCH in order not to get wrong warnings about new = versions available. Now, they added a fourth digit to that. vV.X.Y.Z e.g. v1.8.1.2 So far so good. Now, the last digit is equivalent to our port revisions. = E.g. the version of the library as declared in the source is still = 1.8.1. How do I adapt the Makefile that the correct tarball will be downloaded = from git (which contains v1.8.1.2) but either ignore the fourth digit or = use it to represent the port revision? Also, would you consider it impolite to (humbly) ask upstream to = (carefully) choose a versioning scheme and stick with it (longterm)? ;-) Best, Martin=
