* I did actually run portlint, which said * * PKGNAME , which is defined via DISTNAME, must come with version number. * * but I couldn't see what the problem was as it clearly had a version number! * Perhaps the message should be changed to something like * * PKGNAME, which is defined via (derived from?) DISTNAME, must be in the format * <prog>-<version>. Um, I've been hearing a lot of these things lately, but portlint was never intended to be, and will never be, a replacement of the handbook. It is just for checking errors or typos that can be easily found without human invention -- all ports committers are expected to memorize every single sentence in the handbook's "porting" section (ok, maybe not, but at least consult it).
