It was my  understanding, that the PORTREVISION bump  is only warranted,
when the content of the package, built by default, changes. Trouble with
such bumps, is that they can not be safely backed out :-)

I don't know, how much value there is in such a heads up -- if I already
built the  port from source --  I already have  the "turd". If not  -- I
will not after I built from the freshest port.

Now a whole lot of people will be upgrading (using portupgrade, which is
going to notice the new revision, or whatever) for no reason :-\ -- your
update did  not change a thing  for run-time... Please, be  more careful
the next time. Thanks, :-)
