Sharp observation. I didn't think about that yet.

Could I use a MASTERDIR construction to share the distinfo with the master port?

Ronald.

&gt; Hi,<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I'm creating a port for an nginx module. The module has a version. But I also want it to create a new pkg when nginx changes as it uses the source of nginx also.<br>
&gt; So I had this in mind.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; PORTNAME= &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;nginx-module-foo<br>
&gt; DISTVERSION= &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.0.0<br>
&gt; .include "../nginx/version.mk"<br>
&gt; PORTVERSION= &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;${DISTVERSION}~${NGINX_VERSION}<br>
&gt; CATEGORIES= &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;www<br>
&gt; MASTER_SITES= &nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://nginx.org/download/:nginx">https://nginx.org/download/:nginx</a><br>;
&gt; DISTFILES= &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;nginx-${NGINX_VERSION}.tar.gz:nginx<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; With this the port will automatically get a new pkg version when DISTVERSION changes, and also when NGINX_VERSION changes.<br>
<br>
Usually this doesn't work because a change in DISTVERSION results in<br>
distinfo becoming out-of-date.</div>
