IMHO, PORTREVISION bumps should be used for library updates ONLY when there is some weird interaction that portupgrade won't be able to handle. Example? Recent qt3 update to 3.0.5, kdebase3 and kdelibs3. portupgrade triggered compilation of kdebase3 but kdelibs3 should be built 1st, we need to either change something in the dependency list or do version bumps in that situation. Later was preferred for a quick solution, the former is being pursued. However, as you can see, this is not our standard practice.
Naddy that's not what happened, Speaking as the one who did the fixes, I know.
1. We found out the changes were transient. 2. qt and kdelibs were added the metaport. 3. big warnings were added to to the kde3 metaport and the qt30 port, as this situation applies to any upgrade from qt <= 3.0.4 to qt >= 3.0.5.
As there is no way to express this unusual dependency, not even using PORTREVISION, no kdelibs PORTREVISION bump was made, since it does not fix the problem, which is that the Trolls broke their own rule and blew binary compatibility between 3.0.4 and 3.0.5 in the uic plugin interface, which is how kdelibs tells uic where to find the class include files. (Why a search of the include path and some naming conventions would do this just as well, I don't know). But this could, of course, break other things that we just don't know about, so the warning to just blow out kdelibs if your doing an affected upgrade is the most effective thing I could do. -- AlanE KDE-FreeBSD Team
