He told me that it was now the approved way if doing ports. 5.2.3.1 PORTREVISION is a monotonically increasing value which is reset to 0 with every increase of DISTVERSION, typically every time there is a new official vendor release. If PORTREVISION is non-zero, the value is appended to the package name. Changes to PORTREVISION are used by automated tools like pkg-version(8) <https://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=pkg-version&sektion=8&manpath=freebsd-release-ports>; to determine that a new package is available. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683
