It came to my attention today that PORTVERSION can vary with
OSVERSION. Is this a recommended practice? For that matter can it
vary with ARCH?
I ask mainly because FreshPorts does not cater for this at present.
Given that I'm now working on making FreshPorts both OSVERSION and
ARCH independent, I wanted to gather more information before
proceeding with the design. I was preparing to make FreshPorts aware
that FORBIDDEN and BROKEN may vary with OSVERSION and ARCH, and
nothing else.
