DO WHAT?!?
We did discuss it, and there was consensus -- billf, kris, reg (did not
object to), "Akinori -Aki- MUSHA" <knu@idaemons.org> (by not objecting
and by saying we need real make variables), myself, and you.
Below is your email from Date: 13 Feb 2000 18:51:50 -0800.
Did I misunderstand this part:
But you are right, we should probably remove the comment for obvious
cases (which will be most). After the release, though.

| * Yes, and NetBSD's already done it. I'm looking into NetBSD's
| * packages system and bsd.pkg.mk to make a plan to merge their _big_
| * efforts back into FreeBSD. Yesterday I happened to make contact with
| * a NetBSD developer who's in charge of the system and was told what
| * they'd made over ours.
| *
| * They have added upgrading mechanism, version comparison mechanism,
| * wildcard matching in depend's and much more. So much to learn.
|
| I'll be very interested in hearing how they changed. I've also
| thought about adding a mandatory VERSION variable separate from
| DISTNAME/PKGNAME, to have something like
|
| PORTNAME= foo
| VERSION= 1.2
|
| These two variables will be mandatory, and DISTNAME and PKGNAME will
| be defined in bsd.port.mk as ${PORTNAME}-${VERSION}. (The PKGNAME
| will not be overridable; it will be an error for a port to define it.)
|
| At least this will help ensure that the ${PKGNAME} will have correct
| formats (well, you can always put a "-" in VERSION, but that's far
| easier to find than going through a list of packages/All or
| packages/Latest).
