That really is a bug in portmaster -- it should be detecting changes in
dependencies automatically. Then PORTREVISION can be delegated to signaling the
following message: "You should rebuild this port to fix a bug and/or gain new
functionality".

The automatic bumps like what we are discussing should not be necessary because
the automatic tools must take care it themselves.

> portupgrade by rebuilding ports more often

Portupgrade will preserve the older shared libraries still used by other ports.

Yes, I shall. Thank you very much for your help.
