Same for the KDE-3.1.2 upgrade from KDE-3.0.x How can I force these builds to proceed, while retaining my current versions at least until I'm ready to install the new versions after they are built? Apparently, the ports makefiles are not checking version numbers, but only the existance of files that seem to be common between versions.
