As long as the changes do not introduce any functional change on any other platforms on which the port did previously build. Since `PORTREVISION` reflects the content of the package, if the package was not previously buildable then there is no need to increase `PORTREVISION` to mark a change. +* Changes to `MAINTAINER`. A rule of thumb is to decide whether a change committed to a port is something which _some_ people would benefit from having. Either because of an enhancement, fix, or by virtue that the new package will actually work at all.
