Uh, 4.10 differs from 5.3 here:
FreeBSD 4.10$ pkg_version -t 8.0.0rc5 8.0.0

portupgrade has it own algorithm. In conflict with pkg_version-5.3, it
considers 8.0.0rc or even 8.0.0beta to be greater than 8.0.0.
pkg_version-5.3 does the right thing, and to me it looks like the
portupgrade's algorithm for versioning is overly simple (I've never used
ruby though, perhaps it has some fancy operator overload stuff?):
cmp = newpkg.version <=> oldpkg.version
if cmp > 0
service = :upgrade
elsif cmp == 0
service = :reinstall
else
service = :downgrade
end
I haven't checked if this is fixed in 4.11, but since it is not even out,
bumping port epoch is unfortunately necessary. :(
