Portmaster downgrades

Erratus

Erratus

Hi,

Code: 
===>>> The following actions were performed:
        Upgrade of libXt-1.1.1 to libXt-1.0.9,1
        Upgrade of libXaw-1.0.9,1 to libXaw-1.0.8,2
        Upgrade of libvorbis-1.3.2,3 to libvorbis-1.3.3,3
        Upgrade of xinit-1.3.2 to xinit-1.3.1,1

why portmaster downgrades 3 ports and upgrades 1? No joke!!
 
The number after the comma is the EPOCH. Higher numbers after the comma (higher EPOCHs) trump version numbers.

Thus "1.1.1" is less than "1.0.9,1".

And "1.0.9,1" is less than "1.0.8,2".

And "1.3.2" is less than "1.3.1,1".

IOW, portmaster worked correctly and upgraded the ports.

For all the gory details on EPOCH, see the Porter's Handbook.
