Hi,

so far, I have never had the need to know exactly what to do in case the
package I update is a prerequisite for many other packages.
Unfortunately this happy state is about to end.

I have an update for graphics/ImageMagick 6.3.4.8 ready (ok by adam@)
and would like to know how to proceed after committing this to CVS.

According to fgrep, the following packages rely on ImageMagick by means
of including buildink3.mk:

  devel/libextractor
  graphics/autotrace
  graphics/dx
  graphics/kipi-plugins
  graphics/p5-PerlMagick
  graphics/pixieplus
  graphics/x11rec
  misc/koffice
  multimedia/dvdauthor
  multimedia/dvdrip
  multimedia/xine-lib
  wip/LabPlot
  wip/fbida
  wm/fvwm-themes
  www/zope25-Photo

Am I supposed to bump the revision of those packages?
What about packages who rely on ImageMagick through a simple DEPENDS
assignment?

ciao
