* From: Will Andrews <andrews@technologist.com> * How about $ ? Hmm.. maybe not. What about ``.'' ? Um, '.' won't work because PORTEPOCH could be there without PORTREVISION, making it indistinguishable with normal version numbers. * I'm currently working on a better mechanism (in fact I promised Kris that * I'd send an email about my proposal to -ports yesterday, but I've not * had time lately.. okay, I admit, I've been playing too much quakeworld * lately.. teehee.. i'll get around to finishing my proposal ;). * * Eventually code will be available; I'd prefer to iron out the ideas at * this idea stage. My goal for implementing the new system is * mid-October, around BSDCon. Ok. I hope you will follow through with it, this wouldn't be the first time (or second time) someone proposed something like this.... ;) Satoshi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
