An updates-like mechanism would help here, since the updates could
persist longer.
Also, the user is probably going to end up uninstalling foo anyway or
updating it to a newer revision, which means that whatever was broken
with -r1 will tend to become a bit of a moot issue. Portage doesn't
really support hanging onto PVs that aren't in the tree all that well
to begin with.
Just a general comment not aimed at this particular part of the thread
- a solution doesn't have to be perfect to be useful. If we come up
with a good clean solution that avoids rebuilds in a half-dozen
specific circumstances and we agree to only use it in those
circumstances, there is no reason we can't use it, even if there is
some other circumstance that will still require a revbump. I'm
sensing in this thread that we're forcing ourselves to choose between
a hack that can be applied 100% of the time but which can break
randomly, or a hypothetical perfect solution that never breaks but
which will probably never exist either. A solution that works 80% of
the time and never breaks as long as it is properly applied is an
acceptable compromise.
