 * I'm putting together a port of wmpinboard and noticed this after
 * running `make package' while testing it (note it installed fine with
 * make install)..
 * 
 * [root@corp:/home/jim/freebsd/ports/wmpinboard]# pkg_add wmpinboard-0.7.tgz 
 * pkg_add: could not find package XFree86-3.3.3.1 !
 * [root@corp:/home/jim/freebsd/ports/wmpinboard]#
 * 
 * I'm running version 3.3.2 of XFree86.  My question is, since it
 * doesn't depend on that particular version of XFree86 (it just needs
 * some version of X), how do I get it working with other versions?

You should probably just

  ln -s XFree86-3.3.2 /var/db/pkg/XFree86-3.3.3.1

for now. ;)

Plans to make the entire ports/package system more upgrade-lenient (to
avoid this kind of problems) is in the works but will take some more
time to complete.
