Not a precise analogy, but take a look at: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/www/p5-RT-Authen-ExternalAuth= /Makefile?rev=3D1.8;content-type=3Dtext%2Fx-cvsweb-markup This is an add-on module for RT which had (at the time) to adapt to the radically different layouts between rt-3.6.x and rt-3.8.x In your case, look at ${OSVERSION} to switch between different behaviours= : =2Eif ${OSVERSION} >=3D 900000 # FreeBSD 9.x and above =2E.. =2Eelse # FreeBSD 8.x and below =2E.. =2Eendif Or you can have two different ports, and just use a test on ${OSVERSION} to say if the port is appropriate on that version: =2Eif ${OSVERSION} >=3D 900000 BROKEN=3D only supported for FreeBSD 8.x or below =2Eendif and in the other port: =2Eif ${OSVERSION} < 900000 BROKEN=3D only supported for FreeBSD 9.x or above =2Eendif Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate JID: matthew@infracaninophile.co.uk Kent, CT11 9PW --------------enig97C51F2481C597D3C5804470 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.16 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk803P8ACgkQ8Mjk52CukIxoXgCeOVAD5HNuMI7N2FkNtqkE1S0l X8UAoJPCjYFccT+OMNkZkt5SanJxaI90 =5bkd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig97C51F2481C597D3C5804470--
