Looking for an FAQ on PORTREVISION bumps on commits, pr's.
Basically, I make the decision based on 'hey, if I was running a cronjob
to do a portupgrade -Rr every night, would I want this to be upgraded'?
I know if something is broken across all builds, it doesn't need a
portrevision bump.
If portversion is bumped, portrevision needs to be reset to 0 (line
deleted from Makefile)
pkg-plist changed (except for tweaks for portdocs/portexamples)
options change? I would think so, I see 'make config' called sometimes
on portrevision bump, so I assume if I change the defaults, or add an
option that changes build, I should bump it.
What about things like removing a run_depends that isn't nessessary? ie:
build_depends= This \ That \ TheOther
run_depends+= $build_depends
but, in reality, you only need 'that' to run.
build_depends= This \ That \ TheOther
run_depends = that
Would the average OP want to rebuild the package just to eliminate the
extra run depends? I am thinking, not. why bother?
make deinstall/reinstall via portupgrade or portmanager won't really do
anything
make package/ pkg_delete/ pkg_add won't do anything.
So, is there a definitive list?
