Do you have any practical answer for this? My proposal does not affect the (binary) upgrades. As stated before, the library number of libB and the PORTREVISIONs of both A and B are only loosely linked. Either one can change without the others -- blame anything :) Most typicly, port B's PORTREVISION will go up while the libB.so's version will stay the same. You, probably, want the dependency to be as strict as LIB_DEPENDS= port-B-<version>_<revision> in other words -- depend on the particular version-revision of B, instead of the major number of one of the libraries installed by it. That's way too specific in my opinion, and in the opinion of the LIB_DEPENDS' designers, evidently :-). My proposal has even less to do with _packages_ -- it only affects the ports-building. Without following each other's arguments we may as well stop right now. I lost track of yours, and so did Alexander. I urge you to find someone, who understands them and ask him/her to rephrase them for us.
