Yes, because the file is included in the binary package, therefore the revision should be bumped. E.g., you won't bump if a change only makes a package compile on a platform it didn't compile before, because it doesn't change the binary package--there wasn't one. Changing MAINTAINER is another example: the binary package doesn't include that information. Of course, there some situations where it doesn't matter much (e.g., fixing a typo in MESSAGE). -- Quentin Garnier - cube%cubidou.net@localhost - cube%NetBSD.org@localhost "When I find the controls, I'll go where I like, I'll know where I want to be, but maybe for now I'll stay right here on a silent sea."
