There is no "revision" variable in the portfile. Any ideas? Thanks,
This man page seems to contradict itself, but perhaps it's not optional, as mentioned below. MAIN VARIABLES All ports are required to set certain variables. name Full name of port. Type: required Example: name XFree86 version Upstream version of software. Type: required Example: version 4.2.1 epoch If a port's version numbering changes such that a newer version looks older than the previous version, the epoch should be increased. Often the epoch is formatted like a date. Type: optional Default: 0 Example: epoch 20041231 description One line description of the software and what it does. Type: required Example: description Dictionary Server Protocol (RFC2229) client long_description A verbose description of the software and what it does. Type: required Example: long_description The GNU Image Manipulation Program \ (GIMP) is a powerful tool for the preparation and \ manipulation of digital images. The GIMP provides \ the user with a wide variety of image manipulation, \ painting, processing, and rendering tools. revision Local revision number of Portfile.
