There are valid reasons for wanting to rebuild a port that's already
installed. But it's probably reasonable to require the use of the -
f flag
in those situations. And I believe that's what is supposed to be
implemented. But there appears to be a bug somewhere. I don't know
if a
ticket is already filed about this.
I think port not only pays attention to epoch/version/revision but
also the
timestamp of Portfile; when Portfile is newer than the install,
even when
the versioning says it's already installed, it'll run again.
I would not have expected that.
If a rebuild is needed, the maintainer needs to increase the
revision, version, or epoch.
