I maintain a port that accesses the release distribution files. Now with 9.0 having a different path /i386/i386 and the files being compressed first with tar and then again with xz I need to change the port to access the new layout and file format. I would like to leave the current version in the ports as is which works fine with the 8.x world and add a second version that only works with 9.0 and newer. Question is how do i change the port description of the current port to say it supports 8.x with out re-adding the complete port again? I know I have to add the new port version that supports ge 9.0.
