With due respect to the creativity of the OP, the whole conversation is
basically moot since in almost all cases a library major version change
requires a change to the LIB_DEPENDS line in the port anyway, so a
PORTREVISION bump is a very tiny bit of additional work.
Ah, I did not realize this.

The recent change to jpeg required a lot of changes to a lot of ports
all just to bump a version number.
It is easy to miss things this way and requires a lot of work and
downloading.
I propose that some
This will accomplish exactly what you want:
portmanager -u -p
How will portmanager -u -p avoid the need to bump the PORTREVISION (like the
recent jpeg change)?
It is in the port tree.

I thought about this during last jpeg update:

but this need non-trivial work on mk, and somebody may consider it too
complicated.

I've been using portmaster since I started using freeBSD (about 2 and a half
years ago) ;)
My post was a way to deal with things like the recent jpeg update in a more
efficient manner. Instead of the port committer having to bump the
portrevision of each port that depeneds on jpeg they could just

I propose that some kind of MAJORVERSION be stored in /var/db/ports. Then
when a library's MAJORVERSION is

That is true, there is a script for in /usr/ports/Tools/scripts/
called bump_version.pl which can do most of the magic.
