14.2.2. Updating BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.pkg in buildlink3.mk files
The situation that requires increasing the dependency listed in
BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.pkg after a package update is when the API or
interface to the header files change.
In this case, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.pkg should be adjusted to
require at least the new package version. _In some cases_, the
packages that depend on this new version may need their PKGREVISIONs
increased and, if they have buildlink3.mk files, their
BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.pkg adjusted, too.
Can anybody explain "In some cases"? When it we should dump package's
revision and when this step is not necessary.
