How should I handle this? The software vendor version numbers go like this: 1.0b3 (older release) 1.0 (current release) 1.0.1 (upcoming release) The port currently has PORTVERSION = 1.0.b3, and has not made use of DISTVERSION. What's a good way to set PORTVERSION (and DISTVERSION, if needed) when I update the port to the current and upcoming releases? I don't want the PORTVERSION to go backwards. I assume that's what would happen if I set it to just match the vendor's version numbers, and I assume that's bad. Thanks for any advice! Mike
