For this port the only real indicator of a upgrade is the hash. I understand the utility of having all three pieces of information combined (and it already exists on the original site that way), but I would rather not have to do daily investigations of the port due to the build number. I'd like to find a better solution. MacPorts doesn't seem to have a way to handle a simple "if different" livecheck -- it only wants to deal with finding the newest version. I'm going to work on a patch that adds that adds this feature, simply checking if the strings are different, regardless of order. I feel it would be much better suited to the needs of this port and possibly other -devels.
