Also, isn't it misleading to use the upstream candidate version number "4.00" ? In debian they would probably append the snapshot date or git hash somehow.
Yes, we usually do something similar. (See the `gcc410` and `clang-3.5` ports, for example.)
Thanks. gcc410 uses a date, clang-3.5 an svn rev number which like mercurial increases monotonically and I guess that's a requirement so actually the git hash won't do. I inspected a number of git-based portfiles, all seemed to fetch a specific commit or tag so I guess a 4.00-HEAD portfile that builds whatever is the upstream head at the time a user installs the port, is not a good idea. I just rebuild from HEAD, I am updating my proposed portfile to that known-good commit hash. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44583#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
