Right now I find myself in the situation that Wine went into RC mode and the current snapshots are of the form 1.0-rc1, 1.0-rc2 etc. Per the Porters Handbook this means I have prepared an update with PORTVERSION= 1.0r1 This works just fine and is higher than the previous releases of the form 0.9.61. However, what is going to happen with version 1.0 a bit later? % pkg_version -t 0.9.61 1.0r1 < % pkg_version -t 1.0r1 1.0 > How can I best address this? I'm sure I am not the first ports maintainer running into an issue like this, and bumping EPOCH does not look like the desirable solution here. Gerald @FreeBSD.org
