To do that, they need to be able to run the MacPorts `vercmp` procedure and see what it prints for the port's old version and the new one, but MacPorts doesn't expose a way to do that. I have a script I often use to do this: https://github.com/ryandesign/macports-user-ryandesign/blob/master/scripts/vercmp I propose that we should add a `port vercmp` command to integrate this functionality. Proposed usage example: {{{ $ port vercmp 1.0-rc1 1.0 MacPorts considers 1.0-rc1 to be greater than 1.0. }}}",enhancement,new,Normal,,base,2.6.99,,,kurthindenburg,
