perl5.12, p5.12-*, clang-3.3, llvm-3.3, etc. We also have ports that run the numbers together, like python33 or php55, but this has a built-in assumption that version number components don’t grow to more than 1 digit, which isn’t always the case (e.g. perl5.12); being sufficiently future-proof isn’t a bad idea. The “-“ in e.g. clang-3.3 worried me because I thought MacPorts would confuse it with the syntax for disabling a variant, but it doesn’t seem to have been a problem. _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
