Because a healthy numbering scheme (as in 'numbers') is more useful for correct version tracking than that ludicrous approach some people are insisting on. > You might want to make some test on your own, but in my experience using > a version like 1.0.r2 is supported by the port subsystem.

Well, let's see what happens when we test some mplayer version strings: $ pkg_version -t 0.6 0.9 < $ pkg_version -t 0.9 1.0pre7 < $ pkg_version -t 1.0pre7 1.0pre7try2 > *kaboom* Either a software *is* 1.0 or it is not. Therefore, as long as I am going to maintain that port, I will try to stick with sensible numbers.
