https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196802 --- Comment #8 from Jean-Sebastien Pedron <dumbbell@FreeBSD.org> --- My understanding is that PORTREVISION targets Ports users (not packages users). Without the bug fix, Firefox builds fine; the problem occurs at runtime. Therefore, without a PORTREVISION bump, someone who built Firefox will see Firefox crash but no tool will suggest him that the port could be updated. If PORTREVISION is bumped, the user can notice that an update is available and rebuild Firefox. If the problem was a build failure, a PORTREVISION bump would not be necessary because the port would not build without the fix anyway. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
