There's no need to revbump ebuilds for built-time fixes, dependency changes (or keywording even?!). (In reply to comment #1) > There's no need to revbump ebuilds for built-time fixes, dependency changes (or > keywording even?!). Hmm, doesn't this case show that there actually _is_ a need to revbump (granted, keywording is not an issue)? I've run into problems because of this many times in the past: A package was installed, its ebuild was changed for some reason, but not revbumped. Then there was a problem with my installed version and I filed a bug. Eventually somebody found out that a new version of the ebuild exists and told me to upgrade. Creates lots of effort for several people which could be prevented simply by increasing the ebuild's revision. |
