If the change doesn't affect the installed code, it is encouraged to avoid unnecessary rebuilding. For example, a new version of LibreOffice or Chromium depends on libfoo, but the dev doesn't notice and already has libfoo installed so it works for him. You also have it installed so the upgrade works for you, then it fails for me and I file a bug report. If the dev revbumped the ebuild, you would have to spend a couple of hours rebuilding Chromium to get exactly the same code you had before. By not revbumping it, he fixes the problem for me without inconveniencing you. --=20 Neil Bothwick System halted - Press all keys at once to continue. --Sig_/etegLzbDtyim15FgjVIYnKR Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEE8k9T/rX16EJxEKG692eFu0QSMJgFAlnID+4ACgkQ92eFu0QS MJi4bA/9HRP3RFLhS+xFeVQctAFuIoACEp33Mgh9hQFt1zQmgC1xSnIo4cFwcDm1 3hFf9Cyy2A56ybOtdGmbKAe03XjXZILAPXBgmuD3UArb2sM3zYDKHdhPiPJA6607 JdVwciqvpI0WuqC3k6XjbsMz6kUd+8o+qWqgs4qj1r71tiD1RSFiJF3DN4pjXhWO so5HCBguEBxC0TmbRAj5BC37WJ2iw0r92+Imyfr2rER1SNADNZxrxIYKiqihrUoY DqURfRadtvae2mzTAAmy3QBr+1HU00Cv7jEue+eQy+aNuw7BzuCUOurCG5Y/O6sZ DenXnfFNSG1uQ+/kyzQBPs+q47A/VOH61V1nPCXpoGEXxJjU61SV/ZE0mpncZFxo jAKaxaN2HQAUTB8IRp+Ql7DG1QwTgbW5OGb0cu3A9vHp+mWWR5Gzj2GqmBMqChPo Tx7qad/7nfE/rIsFsf0W9cDGSEnPNA7SBkqFZMIfSPEqw7+4zIr0LkG0ZsTNjLNB SL+3mnw8KMJg3N52I9wKGNc7UoVLcoWy2VPdohSUILfFQyOC79M1RgNb9l4HcDGn u17k5Z+A6RwRBM3ko7ar9hA+msFlgLddkI9IkmWbuEq1x8NerUqENPriT1Kvqnvj vLaHC/dBb6zhdTjO2RNn80NvVung+6phsjTgrd39buVD/nMR3ko= =n45i -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/etegLzbDtyim15FgjVIYnKR--
