PORTREVISION should be bumped, whenever the resulting binary package changes (different checksums, etc.). As pkg-descr is part of the package, yes this should have a PORTREVISION bump. OTOH this will "force" all ports-user to rebuild the port, which surely is a waste for the change to a desc. file that nobody looks at anyway. So, choose wisely. Uli
