For future reference, take a look at how I handle this in the BIND ports. If you'd named the _port_ 0.3.a1_2, then when 0.3 comes out, pkg_version is smart enough to know that it's > 0.3.a*.

It is too late, which in the begin should have add DISTVERSION when "a1" was added before commit in the port. The DISTVERSION will turning it into 0.3.a1.

PS, PORTEPOCH is evil, and must die.

Maybe, but we don't have any choice.

** The following ports have a version number that sorts before a previous one **

For many package tools to work correctly, it is of utmost importance that version numbers of a port form a monotonic increasing sequence over time. Refer to the FreeBSD Porter's Handbook, 'Package Naming Conventions' for more information. Tools that won't work include pkg_version, portupgrade
 and portaudit. A common error is an accidental deletion of PORTEPOCH.

 Please fix any errors as soon as possible.
