Hello,

You can also use git describe to get a version with commit count style
instead of <version>-<date>:

~/tmp/vimpager % git describe --tags
2.06-385-g8a4cc18

portversion will be translated to vimpager-2.06.385
as documented in:
[Example 18. Using USE_GITHUB to Access a Commit Between Two Versions] https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/porters-handbook/book/#makefile-master_si= tes-github

But in this case a PORTEPOCH will be needed since:

% pkg version -t vimpager-2.06.20250412_1 vimpager-2.06.385


Cheers,

Hi,

I am the maintainer of sysutils/vimpager, which is a text pager using vim=

.

I am using repology.org for a while because it is useful, but, in my maintainer information page, this port is seen as problematic because it
has the "release date" on ${DISTVERSION} too. So, I am considering adding PORTEPOCH and removing the date to be able to "look clean" on repology.or=

g.

Do you think this is OK and/or worth it? Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,
Yusuf Yaman
