From pkg_version.pl: # Check epoch, port version, and port revision, in that # order. $rc = &CompareNumbers($e1, $e2); if ($rc == 0) { $rc = &CompareNumbers($v1, $v2); if ($rc == 0) { $rc = &CompareNumbers($r1, $r2); } } Even if you bring the port back up to 1.30 and remove PORTEPOCH the people that have 1.28,1 will never see a newer version because 0 is always less than 1. -steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
