Description Chris Rees freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2011-06-12 09:50:02 UTC 
	The Porter's Handbook recommends using the date string (yyyy.mm.dd) as the version for a port if there's no version around, which unfortunately causes problems when version [e.g.] 3.4.1.3 is found. This would cause a PORTEPOCH bump, which no-one likes.

	I've changed to suggested version string to 0.0.yyyy.mm.dd with a short explanation.
