One of these three descriptions explicitly describes itself as "differentiate between consecutive builds of the same version of a package" Rebuilding for a dependency update does, I suppose, qualify as a consecutive rebuild of the same version of a package. :) The fact that it then describes a non-exhaustive list of things which result in consecutive rebuilds (those things being "fixes and additional features"), should not be taken to mean those are the *only* things. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
