Basically if you cause the package > to be rebuilt on pointyhat then you need to bump it. I was going to say the same thing. But then I thought: this will cause PORTREVISION to be bumped anytime a RUN_DEPENDS or LIB_DEPENDS is updated (because the package will change in +CONTENTS). But, for example, it seems to me that PORTREVISION should NOT be bumped if a LIB_DEPENDS changes, and it is not a major library revision change. For example, in this case the portmaster program reinstalls the library only, and changes the +CONTENTS and +REQUIRED_BY of the various installed packages appropriately. And the program will still work just fine. So PORTREVISION should not be bumped.
