That's how it is done for other dependencies in other ports sometimes. netbox and gitlab often have such cases. > plan 2 - Another option is doing the same as above, but my updating > podofo to the latest version and moving old 0.9.x to a graphics/podofo09 > (or whatever) port, updating all dependencies to use the older port for now.
