Hello,

How can I version packages which I'm working on them and I need bump it
up, but want to be below the official disname version? For example:

        # cd /usr/ports/mystuff/x11/gnome/controlcenter2/
        # make show=DISTNAME
        control-center-2.14.2
        # make show=PKGNAME
        control-center2-2.14.2

Above version is reserved for my stable port when it will be ready
for bigger audience. Now I want to work on it and have possibility to
bump it many times and run pkg_add -u without any issues (and without
SHARED_LIBS bump).

It is hard to exmplain me what I'm rellay asking, so I'll maybe refer
to my rpm practice. When I was working on some .spec file I had put
fractional release like 0.1, so after rpmbuild I had package

        pkgname-$VERSION-0.1.$ARCH.rpm

In developing process I've dumped release many times (0.2, 0.3, ...) and
when packages was stable I can put release "1" and everyone was safe to
intall. Then again I can start developing process and bump it safely
with fractional release like 1.1 and so on (situation repeates)..

Can someone write me a good practice experience for it? Thanks in advance.
