** The following ports have a version number that sorts before a previous one ** For many package tools to work correctly, it is of utmost importance that version numbers of a port form a monotonic increasing sequence over time. Refer to the FreeBSD Porter's Handbook, 'Package Naming Conventions' for more information. Tools that won't work include pkg_version, portupgrade and portaudit. A common error is an accidental deletion of PORTEPOCH. Please fix any errors as soon as possible. - *editors/xemacs-devel* <ports@FreeBSD.org>: xemacs-devel-21.5.b17 < xemacs-devel-21.5.b18 | revision 1.86 | date: 2005/01/04 12:11:20; author: gj; state: Exp; lines: +1 -5 | Revert to 21.5.17 because 21.5.18 was imported without sufficient testing | by yours truely and is causing lots of build problems.
