portlint says "looks fine." when the version goes backwards:

If we need it, we need a code the size of poudriere, I think :)

I have a vague memory that portlint used to warn about version going backwards. 

It's just one pkg command invocation.

I didn't know that such a function existed :)

< > symbols are hard to understand, so I ran it as root :)

# pkg version -t 0.6.1 0.6.2.p0
<
# pkg version -t 0.6.2 0.6.2.p0
>
# pkg version -t 0.6.3 0.6.2.p0

Isn't pkg version returning wrong result?

It could be. I don't know how is this comparison defined.

Example 5.1 of Porter's Handbook says a bit about it.
pkg-1.16.3/libpkg/pkg_version.c takes care of that.

Doesn't this mean that DISTVERSION=0.6.2.post0 is being rewritten as 0.6.2.p0 and treated as a 0.6.2 pre-release 0?

0.6.2 pre-release 0 < 0.6.2 is correct.
Comment 6 Tatsuki Makino 2021-02-27 04:52:41 UTC
Would you like to have the following in portlint?

print qq(some information to explain the inclusion of characters that lower the priority\n) if $newversion =~ m/(^|\.)[A-Za-z]/;
