Well, my personal perception of this is that one should use portupgrade to make sure that the dependencies are dealt accordingly. $ cd /var/db/pkg $ portupgrade -u library_port* $ portupgrade -fru library_port* -x library_port* However, make sure you understand what this is doing before using it: man portupgrade IMHO, PORTREVISION bumps should be used for library updates ONLY when there is some weird interaction that portupgrade won't be able to handle. Example? Recent qt3 update to 3.0.5, kdebase3 and kdelibs3. portupgrade triggered compilation of kdebase3 but kdelibs3 should be built 1st, we need to either change something in the dependency list or do version bumps in that situation. Later was preferred for a quick solution, the former is being pursued. However, as you can see, this is not our standard practice.
