The problem is that patches are not stored in a subdirectory that depends on the version. So, there is a clash if I want to declare patch01 as a new patchfile for mpfr-2.3.0. What is the recommended solution?
Usually the patch files are overwritten along with the Portfile. So you have one set of Portfile + files for each version/release. And when you add the new distfile for the new version of the port, the old distfile is removed at the same time (usually same commit)
I think he's talking about patches fetched from remote sources.
Okay, then it will fall into the "what to do when upstream does not have versioned files" category. As in: they probably need renaming. e.g. patch01 -> mpfr-2.3.0-patch01 --anders
