binary packages and Portfile changes

[Jeremy Lavergne]

> No need, usually. The only reason why there's a Portfile in the package is so that the port can define post-deactivate blocks. So if you're adding / removing / changing a port's post-deactivate block, then yes, that would be a reason to increase the revision to get the package rebuilt. But most ports don't have custom post-deactivate blocks.

One day perhaps self-contained archives/packages. You know the old thread :-)

But when it comes to knowing if the archive is a perfect match to the request, we could compare the two Portfiles.
