Description Trond Endrestøl 2025-06-10 16:09:59 UTC 
When running make index, I get many error messages similar to this one:

--- describe.audio ---
make[4]: "/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.sites.mk" line 586: Comparison with '>=' requires both operands 'g20171206' and '10' to be numeric
make[4]: Fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
===> audio/GxSwitchlessWah-lv2 failed
*** [describe.audio] Error code 1

make[1]: stopped in /usr/ports

I began changing PORTVERSION to DISTVERSION, and adding DISTVERSIONPREFIX as needed, and this helps. Some ports even has the wrong value for DISTVERSIONPREFIX. It looks like many ports do need an overhaul unless it's better to change Mk/bsd.sites.mk (or some other file).
