** 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. - *converters/ruby-iconv* <ports@FreeBSD.org>: ruby18-iconv-1.8.2 < ruby18-iconv-1.8.3 | revision 1.23 | date: 2005/11/11 01:17:20; author: linimon; state: Exp; lines: +1 -1 | With portmgr hat on, reset maintainership of knu's ports since he has | been inactive more than 6 months.
