For the details here the ticket: http://trac.macports.org/ticket/42576. However, the installed files of this port should not have changed. This would mean not revision bump.

Just to be clear, my understanding is that a buildbot will only attempt a rebuild of a port if there is no binary archive for it when the Portfile changes (with no rev bump).  If there’s a binary archive, then it won’t attempt a rebuild.  Is this correct?
