No, there is no such race, on regular tindy, QAT (soon to be back) or pointyhat. You should commit this kind of updates _exactly_after_ you did the update of the dependency. Waiting hours / days / whatever gets you pointyhats and agry mails from users unable to run their ports after your update of the dependency. Please talk about this with your mentors (cc'ed). > I believe shlib-related PORTREVISION bumps should be committed right > away. Yes. Not the same commit, but exactly after, one commit for all afftected ports. Finding affected ports: - ports that list the lib in question in LIB_DEPENDS - if the dependency has one of the USE_XXX, all the ports that have that USE_XXX defined (but take a look at what that USE_XXX actually does, there might be exceotions) To be safe: grep -R libsomthing /usr/ports This is actually documented in PH. Please take some time to read it all, even the sections that are not in your usual area of interest.
