Indeed.  I’m working with my Mentor (adamw@, and swills@(of portmgr@)) and they 
had the issue with unknown.

 

I’ll get this done. ☺

Hi Larry,

 

I presume you are referring the the strings 'unknown' that appear in the  
do-build: portion of the Makefile.

 

These are set to 'unknown' on purpose, because we do not have a way of finding 
out that information unless we do it dynamically at build time. Doing 
dynamically is not recommended for several reasons.

 

This data gets displayed when a user runs `prometheus -version`, and most of 
the fields are only really relevant to dev builds anyway.

 

The crucial information is the software version number which is set.

 

You can see me exchange on the subject in the ports mailing list archive here:

Can you fill in the unknown stuff in the version package or should I just go 
ahead and do it?

Thanks Larry,

 

I have updated the patch on the bug, because the upstream project has just 
released a minor version/bug fix release. New patch updates us to 1.6.1.

 

Thanks,
