Could be, although I thought that our build cluster routinely rebuilds all the packages regardless of updates thereof. Even in your scenario, rebuild should benefit (affect) dependent packages, and this particular case I had explicitly mentioned. To be safe, one can bump port revision if plist changes even if it was previously correct; however, I have not seen technical proof that it should always be done, but I of course could be wrong. As an edge case, why bump port revision for a leaf port, if pkg-plist was previously correct and new files do not change port's behavior (read: bring no visible changes to users or their vast majority), especially when the rebuild is very time consuming? ./danfe
