The Project exists for end-users and end users need a way to determine when there's been a change to a port that needs them to re-install that port. Pointyhat provides automated testing facilities as a way to improve the quality of FreeBSD because not all committers are sufficiently careful. If PORTREVISION cannot adequately serve both end users & pointyhat, then the ports system needs an additional, new flag to trigger pointyhat. --=20 Peter Jeremy --G4iJoqBmSsgzjUCe Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk90v+MACgkQ/opHv/APuIfODgCgiA3WJS5KrhWulnlgarzbQWWV VEsAnAoKKEuVCjeEauGJ9gFwv52v7OWB =43zR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --G4iJoqBmSsgzjUCe--
