The FreeBSD package contains exact version of all packages it depends upon (@pkgdep), isn't it? So, if one of those packages (library) has been upgraded then the new package linked against this new library will contain correct information about which versions of package with library it requires and if upgrade is performed properly this should prevent from using packages linked with oldest library with newest one and vice versa. I do not see what PORTREVISION bump would add into this. -Maxim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
