Implement the concept of a "master" port for the set of
sysutils/cfengine* ports. The idea here is two-fold: 1.) Users should not need to ever change port origins for a default software version bump; 2.) Users should expect to exist an unversioned port directory to reflect the latest major version (and they should be correct in this expectation). With this change, users can install the sysutils/cfengine port, and by default track the latest major version of the software. Subsequent version releases, for example the 3.5 branch, will not require any interaction from user side. Additionally, users can stay on a certain branch release by adding, in this case, CFENGINE_VERSION version to make.conf or specifying the branch during build time with: # make CFENGINE_VERSION=NN The list of available CFENGINE_VERSION values are listed with: # make -V VERSIONS Discussed with: cy

+ sysutils/cfengine has been created as a master port for the set of
+ sysutils/cfengine* ports. Users interested in tracking the latest
+ stable branch of cfengine should update their port origins to use
+ the new port, for example:
+
+ # portmaster -o sysutils/cfengine sysutils/cfengine33
+ or
+ # portupgrade -fo sysutils/cfengine sysutils/cfengine33
+ or
+ # pkg set -o sysutils/cfengine33:sysutils/cfengine
+
+ Users that switch their port origin and later wish to remain on
+ a particular cfengine release can override the default version by
+ adding CFENGINE_VERSION to /etc/make.conf, where CFENGINE_VERSION
+ is a value from:
+
+ # make -V VERSIONS
