True! I stand corrected. The documented Package Naming Conventions from the 
Porter's Handbook should of course rule.

But, the previous port version of postgresql-devel was  8.0.rc5.2005.01.16, 
so it was actually not necessary to bump PORTEPOCH. Oh well, never mind, 
too late now. You learn something everyday, I guess... :)

FreeBSD 4.10$ pkg_version -t 8.0.0.rc5 8.0.0
<
FreeBSD 4.10$ pkg_version -t 8.0.rc5.2005.01.16 8.0.0

Looks better. Although, it should really be .r5, not .rc5... ``No strings 
like rc allowed'' according the handbook...

Seems correct.

True.
