[OpenVerse] Re: ports/25341: New PORT (OpenVerse)

[Will Andrews <will@physics.purdue.edu>]

Hi,

I have reviewed the PR located at:

	http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=25341

and have a serious problem with it.  The OpenVerse tarball as it is on
OV's webpage has no version number attached.  So there's no way to
distinguish between a tarball for version 0.8-2 and 0.8-3.  Yet the debs
and such are versioned.

Also, I dislike the versioning scheme.  Why use a different delimiter
for the second minor number?  Why not 0.8.x instead of 0.8-x?  That's
just silly.

Would it be possible for OpenVerse to use a different scheme in the
future that involves putting up versioned tarballs and using only
periods as delimiters in the version numbers?

Respectfully,
