These ports may not use GCC on your system, or even the majority of systems, but there are systems and situations where they do, and bumping PORTREVISION is a global binary decision for each port considered. > E.g. I thought that USES=compiler:c11 and similar were asking for > c11 semantics from whatever compiler was used but Let's look at your example. ports/Mk/Uses/compiler.mk has the following on USES=compiler:c11: .if ${_COMPILER_ARGS:Mc11} .if !${COMPILER_FEATURES:Mc11} .if (defined(FAVORITE_COMPILER) && ${FAVORITE_COMPILER} == gcc) || (${ARCH} != amd64 && ${ARCH} != i386) # clang not always supported on Tier-2 USE_GCC= yes CHOSEN_COMPILER_TYPE= gcc .elif ${COMPILER_TYPE} == gcc That is, if a user has set a preference for GCC or for non x86/x86-64 platforms, GCC is used. And if there is one legitimate configuration on the planet where a PORTREVISION bump is required, we have to perform it in our repository. (This is not saying I may not have made a mistake somewhere, but in general those bumps do appear necessary.)
