Hi! I have imported Groff 1.17 yesterday, and I need to reflect directory layout changes in the textproc/gxditview port. The specifics of this port is that its distribution files live in /usr/src/contrib/groff, and the location is different between -STABLE and -CURRENT, being .../xditview for -STABLE and .../src/xditview for -CURRENT. The PORTVERSION should ideally also be differently for -STABLE and -CURRENT, 1.16.1 vs. 1.17. I searched through the Porter's Handbook, but found no info that would handle my case. Should I bump the __FreeBSD_version and use the updated OSVERSION? Also, what FreeBSD branches the Ports are supposed to be built for? I mean, what should I do with port when I import Groff 1.17 into 4.3-STABLE? Should I provide OSVERSION tests so that the port builds on older versions, or?
