|Package revision numbers should be incremented by Gentoo Linux |
24 |
|developers when the ebuild has changed to the point where users would |
25 |
|want to upgrade. Typically, this is the case when fixes are made to an |
26 |
|ebuild that affect the resultant installed files, but the ebuild uses |
27 |
|the same source tarball as the previous release. If you make an |

So if the compiled program is differend there should be a version bump. |
30 |
Maybe expecially if the compiled program has different behaviour |
31 |
|
32 |
|internal, stylistic change to the ebuild that does not change any of the |
33 |
|installed files, then there is no need to bump the revision number. |
34 |
|Likewise, if you fix a compilation problem in the ebuild that was |
35 |
|affecting some users, there is no need to bump the revision number, |
36 |
|since those for whom it worked perfectly would see no benefit in |
37 |
|installing a new revision, and those who experienced the problem do not |
38 |
|have the package installed (since compilation failed) and thus have no |
39 |
|need for the new revision number to force an upgrade. A revision bump is |
40 |
|also not necessary if a minority of users will be affected and the |
41 |
|package has a nontrivial average compilation time; use your best |
42 |
|judgement in these circumstances. |

This question came from having 2 machines installed in the last few days |

and behaving different. |
