I installed phpbb-3.02 from ports (i.e. "make install").
I then used phpbb's built-in upgrade system to upgrade it to version

This of course did not bump the version number in the ports/packages
database.
I frequently use csup + pkg_version -L to spot ports that are out of
date,
and this one will probably show up forever now.
I don't wish to recompile anything because I've made a lot of custom
changes to the php code and I don't want to go through the pain of
remerging all that stuff again.
Is there a way that I can tell pkg_version that I think I'm already
running version 3.04?
I'd like to continue to pretend that this package is still managed by the
ports/package system even though I've modified it. I realize that
this is
not sane, but it will help me spot new versions when they become
available
and I just like having all my software listed in one place like this.
I've briefly poked around in /var/db/pkg/phpbb-3.0.2, but those files
with
all their checksums just scream "don't touch!" to me.
I'm not using any ports/package management tools except for "make" and
"pkg_*", so aside from whatever database pkg_info uses, there are no
other
databases to worry about.
You could try:
cd /var/db/pkg
mv phpbb-3.0.2 phpbb-3.0.4
I think it is likely to work. And if it doesn't, the damage is easily
repaired.
This should indeed work, but don't forget to update +CONTENTS as well.
(the @name tag). The outdated @pkgdep tags in dependent packages
shouldn't hurt.
