I like this, but version … version reads a little oddly.

What about using “variant” for one of them? (Gotta credit my wife for that idea; I drew a blank lol)

I spent a looooong time with ChatGPT working on phrasing. Why is this one so tough?!

What I came up with was: "Override the defaults for ports with selectable variants."?

Depending on length target, we could really clear it up for users by adding "such as database and compiler versions."

I dunno, folks. Maybe we should just say "DEFAULT_VERSIONS: Sets default versions" 🙄

use database or compiler versions, i like that.
i like the text we've come up with so far otherwise.
