Hi Alex, Yes, I did exactly that. Take a look at the example above. :) Anyway, a PR has been filed and the response is, "it's a feature." I'm not sure how it's a feature, but it is. The example I was given looks like this: $ pkg_version -t 2.3_1 1.75_2,1 < I'm guessing it's just doing some odd string comparison instead of breaking the version number apart and handling it with weight on the major version number, etc. Ironically, portupgrade still does things right. portupgrade-devel is the port I'm having problems with.
