>Description:
(maintainer cc'd)
On 2003-11-21, the devel/gdb53 port was downgraded from 5.3_20030311 to 5.3
without setting PORTEPOCH. The reason was to make the port fetchable after the
discontinuation of the gdb 5.3.1 branch according to
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/devel/gdb53/Makefile?rev=1.21&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup
The missing PORTEPOCH confuses pkg_version, and rightfully so:
# pkg_version -v -s gdb*
gdb-5.3_20030311 > succeeds port (port has 5.3)
Please remember to increase PORTEPOCH when downgrading the version of a port.
