Because it tests the epoch first, the version next, and then the
revision. From pkg_version.pl:
# Check epoch, port version, and port revision, in that
# order.
$rc = &CompareNumbers($e1, $e2);
if ($rc == 0) {
$rc = &CompareNumbers($v1, $v2);
if ($rc == 0) {
$rc = &CompareNumbers($r1, $r2);
}
}
Even if you bring the port back up to 1.30 and remove PORTEPOCH
the people that have 1.28,1 will never see a newer version because
0 is always less than 1.
