Yes, that's true. But I had never problems to test new versions with a modified
port. I copied
the port files to a new directory and changed the Makefile, e.g.:
WRKDIR= ${.CURDIR}/work
DISTDIR= ${.CURDIR}
PACKAGES= /var/ports/packages
PORTNAME= dovecot
DISTVERSION= 1.1.beta8
CATEGORIES= mail ipv6
MASTER_SITES= http://www.dovecot.org/releases/1.1/beta/
You can test snapshots with:
#DISTVERSION= 20071023
#MASTER_SITES= http://www.dovecot.org/nightly/
#WRKSRC= ${WRKDIR}/dovecot-20070522
#CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --with-storages=mbox,maildir
This works on FreeBSD-7 in a jail.
