wxWidgets upgrade to lower version?

[Darren Weber]

Yea, just read the `port cat wxWidgets` but didn't check any svn logs.  That
may explain the upgrade, but it's curious the version dropped back because
the current stable release is at 2.8.10 according to the downloads:
http://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/

It's a pity the epoch had to be created, because, as I understand it, the
port will now forever need an epoch number.  So, out of curiosity, what
happens when this port is actually upgraded to the 2.8.10 release?  Can the
epoch remain at 1 and the version bump up to 2.8.10 - will that trigger an
upgrade?  Or does the version have to bump up for each new release version?

It helps to have access to the svn logs:

wxWidgets: increase epoch so everyone who had 2.8.10 installed gets prompted
to downgrade to 2.8.9.
