When you update to a newer version, you should remove REVISION but keep any EPOCH lines. Also: when you update you should also check that the package tools will consider the new version as "newer" - if not, you must bump EPOCH. packages-specs(7) has more details about this, it is particularly important to know about this for Perl-related ports because version numbering in CPAN often does _not_ follow the same rules. pkg_add ordering: 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.11, 1.20 typical cpan ordering: 1.1, 1.11, 1.2, 1.20, 1.3
