Apart from reinstalling very large packages, are there reasons to avoid rebuilding on any change rather than just checking epoch_version_revision? If it should be more manual perhaps a commit hook that incremented a set variable to provide a linear change count. I'm thinking if it must be linear, perhaps revision can be made into this: version is human-readable while revision is for port to determine if a change has occurred. If it doesn't need to be linear then we could just use a hash of the Portfile to track if anything changed. Anything at all. _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
