I think the EPOCH shit in ports is totally fucked, but my opinion doesn't really matter, because I'm not a major contributor to ports. I can accept that. at least with aucat there are options to make it work to suit differing opinions/ tastes. Care to elaborate ? do you see another way to fix that specific issue ? Namely, to ensure that version numbers go forward. yeah, don't rely on upstream version numbering at all. upstream versioning should only be in the package name to identify which upstream sources were used, not whether a package is newer than another. I explained this in more detail some time ago on ports@. you replied to me ... -- jake...@sdf.lonestar.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
