I thought more about this and realized that I'm not 100% sure what you're asking for. :) If you use -g along with -r now, all of the ports that get rebuilt/reinstalled will have new packages generated that contain their updated dependencies. So that case is handled already. OTOH, is what you're asking for is essentially for -r to be recursive? Which is to say that if you do 'portmaster -g -r fooport' and barport depends on fooport, you want to repackage everything that depends on barport as well? That would make sense if barport is upgraded to a new version as a side effect of 'portmaster -g -r fooport', otherwise I don't see the value in repackaging things that depend on barport because (AFAICS) the packages will not change. If I'm missing something or you're asking for something different, please let me know.
