(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. Fix: Apply this patch to ports/devel/gdb53/Makefile:
