Specifying a minumim version of a port that's required

[Jacques Marneweck]

Hi,

For one of the ports which I'm busy writing the Makefile for, requires a
specific version of p5-Danga-Socket or a later version, what would be
the correct way of specifying version 1.43 or later for the Makefile?
I've reading through the FreeBSD porters handbook and don't seem to find
anything related having version numbers of the specified port installed.

Regards

From /usr/ports/CHANGES:

* Add an ability to depend on versioned installed package.
Example:

Please note, it's experimental feature, work is currently in
