I installed gcc44 when it was listed as Beta / "experimental" back

gcc-mp-4.4 (GCC) 4.4.0 20090313 (experimental)
I saw that it is no longer listed in the ports as beta (4.5 now is)
and so I tried
sudo port upgrade gcc44
However, the only thing that got upgraded was apparently
gmp, lzmautils, mpfr, libiconv and gperf
gcc/g++ were not upgraded (are there no changes?), nor were java or
gfortran installed (for some reason when the "betas" are made of
gcc, these are included only as "variants" even though they are
considered part of the actual gcc distribution by the gnu
developers). Even if gcc does not change, it seems like the
"upgrade" command should install any of the items that are no
longer variants in the non-beta installation, so that the port is
standardized.
gcc44 was updated from version 4.4-20090331 to version 4.4.0 final in
r50108, but the rpm-vercomp procedure in MacPorts thinks 4.4-20090331
is greater than 4.4.0, hence port outdated is not showing you the
port as outdated. The epoch of the port should have been increased in
that revision to inform MacPorts that 4.4.0 should be considered the
newer version. Markus, can you increase the epoch please so users of
the gcc44 beta are advised of the availability of the final version?
Thanks.
