I'm a little confused... It sounds like the port now a) depends on
cups-headers on darwin 7, and b) when darwin < 8, complains that
cups-headers may conflict, and advises uninstalling it. Aren't those
two contradictory?
You're right, the "<" should be ">=" thanks for catching that. Now if
only man portfile said more than "Compare two RPM-format versions for
equality." when describing rpm-vercomp
Currently it says:
rpm-vercomp versionA versionB
Compare two RPM-format versions for equality.
The source code has the additional information:
"RPM compatible version comparison
* If A is newer than B, return an integer > 0
* If A and B are equal, return 0
* If B is newer than A, retun an integer < 0"
(the spelling error has probably been there a while,
and no idea why function is named comp and not cmp)
The function is called "rpmvercmp" in RPM,
and it is found in <rpm/rpmevr.h> nowadays...
http://rpm5.org/docs/api/group__rpmds.html
(it was re-implented using EVRcmp in 4.4.7)

PS. The return values are the same as for strcmp(3).
