This is exactly the idea of -r1.1, and this (at least the check) |
| 8 |
already works in the code snippet I had sent to the portage list: |
| 9 |
From 1.1-r1 to 1.1-r1.1 no recompilation should happen, while e.g. |
| 10 |
from 1.1 to 1.1-r1.1 the bump is as usual. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Package managers which do not want to implement minor revisions |
| 13 |
could just treat -r1.1 as a "usual" revbump and recompile |
| 14 |
unconditionally, that is, except for a slight extension of |
| 15 |
the allowed versions (and corresponding comparison rules) |
| 16 |
nothing would change for them (although their users would |
| 17 |
then not benefit from the possible avoidance of some |
| 18 |
recompilations offered perhaps by other package managers). |
