I installed phpbb-3.02 from ports (i.e. "make install"). I then used phpbb's built-in upgrade system to upgrade it to version 3.04. This of course did not bump the version number in the ports/packages database. I frequently use csup + pkg_version -L to spot ports that are out of date, and this one will probably show up forever now. I don't wish to recompile anything because I've made a lot of custom changes to the php code and I don't want to go through the pain of remerging all that stuff again. Is there a way that I can tell pkg_version that I think I'm already running version 3.04? I'd like to continue to pretend that this package is still managed by the ports/package system even though I've modified it. I realize that this is not sane, but it will help me spot new versions when they become available and I just like having all my software listed in one place like this. I've briefly poked around in /var/db/pkg/phpbb-3.0.2, but those files with all their checksums just scream "don't touch!" to me. I'm not using any ports/package management tools except for "make" and "pkg_*", so aside from whatever database pkg_info uses, there are no other databases to worry about.
