Regarding portlint's FATAL output, please review Package Naming
Conventions in the Handbook. Specifically, "If the software
version has
strings like ``alpha'', ``beta'', ``rc'', or ``pre'', take the first
letter and put it immediately after a period." So you could try
sometihng like:
PORTVERSION= 3.0.p1
DISTNAME= ${PORTNAME}-${PORTVERSION:S/.p/pre/}
DISTVERSION= 3.0pre1
is shorter and cleaner
I appreciate the brevity, but this requires adjustment with every
PORTVERSION change. I prefer a solution that requires one less
(albeit
simple) manual step; perhaps some sed-fu in DISTVERSION if the
DISTNAME
example is aesthetically unpalatable. TMTOWTDI. :-)
Actually, after thinking about this some more, avilla@'s DISTVERSION
tweak is more elegant and gives us the same end result with less
fiddling. Stick with that and sorry for the noise!
