I understand that. My point is that the WRKOBJDIR setting currently affects the files in the package, and that is not something the versioning scheme can know about anyway. So not bumping individual package's version would break things more than they are already. Bumping python package would however change all package dependency lists, which could be enough IMHO to get things updated correctly. Just like a port are not generally bumped when a lib in WANTLIB change, but the resulting package does when it is rebuild, and it is updated just fine. Eric.
