First, it's been discussed to death that 1. .la files sometimes serve a useful purpose, and 2. deleting them does not serve a useful purpose. Second, if a user has the port installed already, a bumped PORTREVISION would suggest to them that there is some benefit in deleting the existing port and reinstalling. Here that is clearly not the case. I suggest that you avoid all such commits in the future. If you want to discuss this, please follow up to -ports@. Thanks, Doug
