So with a little help I finally got my issue in this thread solved, and since there wasn't a maintainer for that port, I figured I would submit an update and see what happens.
Which has lead me to this question.
The Makefile for the port has PORTEPOCH defined. From what I've read in the porter's handbook, since that is already defined, it shouldn't ever be removed/lowered. Given that this is a minor fix/update to the port, I was thinking a small bump in PORTREVISION would have sufficed, but PORTREVISION was never defined.
So my question is, should I define PORTREVISION in and not even touch PORTEPOCH? Or just bump PORTEPOCH? I don't want to cause problems with the updating of the port in the future, so figured it would be best to get some insight on this.
