You can test the ordering of two version strings using 'pkg version -t' Note however, if your modified version is Foo-1.0.0.o1 and an update is pulled in from upstream then the regular port version Foo-1.0.1 will supersede your locally modified version. You might find it more effective to use an epoch number instead: Foo-1.0.0;1 which will always sort higher than anything without the ';1' bit. Beware though that once you've added an epoch number you can never remove it. > Would it be reasonable to treat local patches as options?

They don't feature in what the solver is doing currently -- but keep watching this space. You can add your local changes as new options if you like, but I don't think it's going to have quite the effect you're hoping it will. There are a number of changes which are going to hit the ports in the nea= r future, particularly 'FLAVOURS' which you might find interesting. FLAVOURS is all about compiling certain ports several times with alternate dependency choices, eg. 'Foo with mysql' vs. 'Foo with postgresql' vs 'Foo with sqlite' Cheers, Matthew --8p2RIqHHwCbwmRXC3QJsKMbDN1QEwqwN4 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.20 (Darwin) iQJ8BAEBCgBmBQJVpXvaXxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXQ2NTNBNjhCOTEzQTRFNkNGM0UxRTEzMjZC QjIzQUY1MThFMUE0MDEzAAoJELsjr1GOGkATCxwP/A8bQYTjI4QpX/o/IEu26Z4F 9i1EHpA9PrN3w+SrIMjR93sFq3/nRJq2W7DTihqzQKdSKyf0gHST2RcqNEPWJbM8 876CsT/A859kgII4efLmQ0lO+pfHOjtSQ63Nyt5BXqyFzRdxysXHqGI4phTKpqKZ WBsTI92+nbAl3t/WOXQq3iO/e7YPKGIjyd6XLCXdsEExojlj/aSYqsW/vMihMYf6 w7FSHYldtunEPAqH9oHKrkFaWd4rzTGgJhE0eyOPxhDV0JuE0iJv8xSKXYap0rBm aRwuEQj0t3wbzJQJq+lIVdSoxNbV5HAeuEpTq7BDg0xBOVk8XZo9eKGg0hjga/3F PzCgGZZGrL/QUkuN48TUooRmOdqAItnaxRAfxLv8rRn258zvBEKPym5l4kV/mlmo 2kfP0gDIGxa2gctGifAnsKrJKitLCFQoQpE6z+5OY8xSrrKdJugYL78gAnKZJ5oE PeKsyTPRYo77ecIbC93Xuz7Vx+3D/ATzaLwvoxMkHstFYNcuJ4rbxIkxTdOpjmA+ Q47R2ZAGjA4JsE91fk0z1DO6n56N7aQtAnWvYHJ3AVoRIv3ROsO3I5Zmkak9F7IG +e0/CWVIJPVjjU0hQJ90r8v+skgc2fY5BaajBfFiLo3nOQVlx1tb653Ld0jAw1Nf G2nSGXUb7mCXECq24eYn =KD/Z -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --8p2RIqHHwCbwmRXC3QJsKMbDN1QEwqwN4--
