It's very hard to review a commit with many files changes. So, if you bump the version, please make a commit for each ebuild, instead of a large commit for all updated files.
Properly updating an ebuild isn't only changing the version number. One good
way to notice changes in the build configuration is to look for changes in
the file configure.ac
. Check out the repository of the package you want
to bump and do the following:
$ git diff v1.(N)..(N+1) -- configure.ac
where N+1
is the version you want to bump to and N
is the previous version.
Update the ebuild if the build requirements have changed.
