KeePassXC: Livecheck believes 2.7.0-beta1 > 2.7.0

[tenzap]

On keepassXC​https://ports.macports.org/port/keepassxc/details/, livecheck says:

KeePassXC seems to have been updated (port version: 2.7.0, new version: 2.7.0-beta1) 

So it looks like livecheck believes 2.7.0-beta1 > 2.7.0, while in fact 2.7.0 is greater that 2.7.0-beta1

That is how vercmp compares those versions. Betas would have to be excluded by adjusting the livecheck regex in the port.

on KeePassXC livecheck is actually inherited from the github portgroup.

Would assigning it to github portgroup be more accurate?

[mascguy (Christopher Nielsen)]

Per the previous comment from @jmroot, the regex needs to be specified as:

# Ignore betas, RCs, etc.
github.livecheck.regex  {([0-9.]+)}

In short, the regex needs to stop at the first dash, if any. But it's often simpler to simply limit the valid characters to numerics and the period, which accomplishes it.

Of note, the example above can't necessarily be used verbatim for every port; it depends on how the authors name releases. But the example above does work for KeePassXC.
