Can we just leave it as it is and move on? * From: "David O'Brien" * Optionally allowing "_0" would certainly help me remember to deal with * this. If I see it in the Makefile it is *very* easy for me to bump it * (ore reset to 0). I disagree. PORTREVISION is something that has to be dealt as an "exception". Most Makefiles do not set it. IMO, it is much easier to remember to reset it to zero if you see something that's usually not there. As for increasing PORTREVISION, that is an event-driven act. You commit something that changes the way the port behaves with regards to the rest of the world, you change (or add) PORTREVISION. I don't think whether PORTREVISION is already in the Makefile or not makes any difference. -PW To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
