Dear MacPorts developers,

from http://guide.macports.org/#reference.keywords :
> revision
>
> Optional keyword (default is 0) that is used to track port revisions. It 
> should not be incremented for port revisions unless it would benefit users to 
> upgrade an installed port, and cleared when the port is updated to a newer 
> version.
>
> It should be used if a bug in the Portfile was found and all installations of 
> this port have to be updated. If the change only affects new installations, 
> there is no need to increase it.

I changed a Portfile to copy some documentation files in the
directories requested by porthier(7).

Is this considered a bug correction in the Portfile (and so should I
increase the revision number), or is it a change that would benefit
only new installations (and so should I leave the revision number
untouched)?

Best wishes.
Davide Liessi
