Hi, I think it would be nice if there was a way for port maintainers to specify if a port needs to be reconfigured. For example, today (May 6, 2006) there has been an update of port lang/php4 and there is a new option to choose if the apache module has to be compiled or not. If there was a flag in the port system that allowed to force configuration of the port if the installed version is less than a certain value, users would have seen immediately that they had to check that new "Apache module" option to have that module reinstalled...
