Isn't it possible to update render to a pseudo newer version that has no

Yes, I just did that. Unfortunately I had not completed all my modifications by the time the portindex was regenerated, so I wanted to notify users of the issue.

but depends on xorg-renderproto? Or else to have some kind of
"superseding" mechanism?

Making render depend on xorg-renderproto will not work: the dependency xorg-renderproto would be built first before render would be updated to the no-files version. You would be guaranteed to get exactly the conflict message we're trying to avoid.

Making xorg-renderproto depend on render might work. I could change the render port again to not issue the message I added, advising users to uninstall it, but instead let it sit around empty for awhile until everyone has upgraded. Then later I can increase the revision and re-add that message. I don't know if this is better than what I did; it's all a bit messy. If someone feels strongly about this they can change things. For now, I'm going to bed. :)

I just did this (making xorg-renderproto depend on render) since the upgrade was not going smoothly without this.
