Re: git: 2b9b771202b2 - main - www/luakit-devel: update to 2.3.1-6

Hi,

portepoch should be used with caution and when is no chance to avoid it,
e.g., upstream versioning changes.

That's not the case on this port that suffers from a bad version design
from the beginning:

First portepoch: 2.2.8 -> 2.2.1*-16*
Second portepoch (actual): 2.3-26 -> 2.3.1*-6*

*-<commits count>* is the number of commits

In the future will be more portepoch bumping due to '*-'*<commits count>
being interpertated as '*.'*<committs count>

IMHO, solution is to think in a better port versioning.

I will talk with maintainer to see what is his opinion.

Thanks
