Thank you for the report Peter

Assign committer of ports r502845

PORTEPOCH needs to be incremented as the version goes backward after this revision:

# pkg version -t 2020.0.0.a1 20141224
# <
Comment 2 Chris Rees freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2019-06-01 07:43:25 UTC 
Yeah, no way around this one :(
Comment 3 Cy Schubert freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2019-06-01 14:51:26 UTC 
Our choices are PORTEPOCH and 20200000.a1. I'm reluctant to bump PORTEPOCH if there's another way.

Thoughts?
Comment 4 Cy Schubert freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2019-06-01 15:35:51 UTC 
PORTEPOCH bump later today.
Comment 5 Chris Rees freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2019-06-01 17:55:19 UTC 
Yeah, I don't think forever mangling the version is a better solution.

I hate them too, but I think this is the answer:)

Sadly yes.

New revision: 503249
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/503249

Log:
  Fix version going backward due to update to 2020.0.0.a1 (pointy hat to
  yours truly).

  The maintainer no longer wants to maintain ksh93 as his desire is to
  maintain a backlevel port of ksh93 in order to build and support a
  shared library for use by legacy applications, which is inconsistent
  with the direction of the att/ast team on github. I will maintain the
  port.

Cy,
Can you take over the shells/ksh93 port? Thanks

(sorry got confused by this " Approved by:	maintiner" line - thank you)
Comment 10 Cy Schubert freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2019-06-11 11:44:29 UTC 
Fixed and took the port a while ago. shells/ast-ksh is under your name.
