So the packages which can be installed via pkg_add -r or from an installation medium, will have the exact version they are compiled with recorded. If they now find another version installed, they will print out a warning message. To not confuse other users who may not have this deep knowledge, bumping the revision here forces the package cluster to rebuild the bumped ports as well and to record the new version of audacious in their dependencies. The warning message will then no longer exist because now the ports are consistent again. > Then there is a /var/db/pkg database. The tool like portmaster > fix all needed dependencies (if needed). Yes, this might be the case that portmaster is fixing it by itself. Portupgrade probably as well. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
