Subject:[FreeBSD Ports Version Check] Newer available versions for ports you maintain

Dear maintainer,

[Please read the first paragraph of the footer for additional information about the version checking]

As maintainer of one or more FreeBSD ports, I would like to inform you that a new version is available for the following port(s):

Port Current version New version URLs ------------------------------------ --------------- ----------- ---- java/eclipse-quantum 3.0.0 3.0.1 [1]

Version checking:

- The algorithm for the next version is very simple:

- For 95% of the ports, current version 1.2.4 will resolve into 1.2.5, 1.3.0 and 2.0.0.

- For ports which use an odd minor number to indicate a development version, current version 1.2.4 will resolve into 1.2.5, 1.4.0 and 2.0.0. Same idea for ports which use an even number for this.

- For numbered ports (automake15 for example), it will only check for prefixes with 1.5.

These definitions have to be entered manually, and can be found on http://edwin.adsl.barnet.com.au/~edwin/ports/restricted-ports.html. If a port incorrectly shows up as "a new version is available", let me know and I can add it to the list and/or make a filter for it.

Please keep in mind that...

- the check was only done in relation to the current version, so it is possible that the new version is not the newest version available on the master sites.

- the full check of all ports takes more than two days, so it is possible that a new version is already commited. In that case, please ignore this email.

- this is the only time you will get an alert about the above mentioned port versions on the below mentioned URLs. When the port version is updated, a check will again be done for it. When a new URL with a newer version is found, a check will be done for it again.

- Not interested in further alerts? Send me the email address you received it on for a full block, or the name of the port for a port-only block, or the name of a host for a host-only block.

- An overview of all newly discovered distfiles can be found at http://edwin.adsl.barnet.com.au/~edwin/ports/. The page keeps unchanged until the next run.
