This was a very poor choice, we shouldn't have bumped the version. When there is a bump between two minor releases (8.31 -> 8.32) a red led should blink in port maintainer. The port should have defined: USE_AUTOTOOLS= libtool USE_GNOME= ltverhack to avoid bumbing the version. In fact this is the diff in configure.ac: -m4_define(libpcre_version, [1:1:0]) -m4_define(libpcre16_version, [0:1:0]) +m4_define(libpcre_version, [3:0:2]) +m4_define(libpcre16_version, [2:0:2]) It says that the new shared lib is compatible with the old lib (only new interfaces were added), since: 1 - 0 = 3 - 2 = 1 1 - 0 = 2 - 2 = 0 (from the [current:revision:age] version = current - age rule) -- Alex Dupre
