Using the date in this sort of case is a pretty good idea, but you should prefix it by '0.0.'. The porter's handbook says: "The idea is to make it easier to sort ports by looking at the version string. In particular, make sure version number components are always delimited by a period, and if the date is part of the string, use the 0.0.yyyy.mm.dd format, not dd.mm.yyyy or the non-Y2K compliant yy.mm.dd format. It is important to prefix the version with 0.0. in case a release with an actual version number is made, which would be numerically less than yyyy." > I'm trying to port postscreen-stats, which is just a collection of small > scripts without any version numbering. > See: https://github.com/jvehent/Postscreen-Stats However, since you're porting something distributed via Github see the specific instructions here: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/makefile-distfiles.html#5.4.2.1 Cheers, Matthew
