You can't know that.
Say there is a shlib change in one of the updated packages, its version is
bumped, or there is a new dependency, you need to rebuild the 67 ports, and
pkg will detect and reinstall them.
I remember one instance where a library change was detected (Can't
remember which package was affected). The package was re-installed
although the version number did not change.
But like 99% of the time packages without version bump will not be
installed. One could argue that the version number should have been
bumped in the other case.
I understand that conservative rebuilding is important for the official
pkg repo.
But it would be nice to have a poudriere option to avoid rebuilds of
ports without version bumps. If something should go horribly wrong every
now and then, you can still fall back to the default rebuild behavior.
I think it should be possibly provided that port versions are bumped
correctly. But maybe I'm wrong.
