Author: wblock Date: Thu Mar 3 13:01:57 2016 New Revision: 48316 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/doc/48316 Log: Always set PORTVERSION! Except when DISTVERSION is set, then NEVER set PORTVERSION! (Requested by koobs in IRC.) Also clarify the part about PORTNAME being unique. (Unrequested, but that didn't stop me.)
