--- Comment #7 from Tijl Coosemans <tijl@FreeBSD.org> ---
You cannot use DISTVERSION here because upstream released 1.10a after 1.10 =
and
1.10.a comes before 1.10.

There's an extra patch for graphics/llpp.  What is that about?

SO_MAJOR is just an arbitrary name for a variable.  What matters is that the
library is now linked with -soname=3D$@ where $@ means the make target whic=
h is
$(MUPDF_LIB) or $(THIRD_LIB).

If upstream does not guarantee ABI compatibility between versions (e.g. they
may change function prototypes or change the size of types), then you must =
use
a versioned soname.  Programs that use the library will then fail to start =
with
a new version because they are still looking for the old library name.  Thi=
s is
a safer failure mode than the unpredictable failures that may happen when
programs blindly use an unversioned and possibly incompatible library.

You can use any string as soname.  I think it would be better to replace
${SO_MAJOR}.0 with $(SOVERSION) in the OpenBSD patch and set
SOVERSION=3D${PORTVERSION} in the port Makefile.
