In order to solve the problems of @changed-deps, we can implement two new options that are analogous to --newuse and --binpkg-respect-use, called --changed-deps and --binpkg-changed-deps. The rationale for having separate a --binpkg-* option is the same in both cases: depending on the situation, people may want different behavior for binary packages. For example, just like ---binpkg-respect-use is automatically enabled if the user has not specified --usepkgonly, we could do the same for --binpkg-changed-deps (but allow the user to explicitly override the automatic behavior). Please respond if you agree or disagree with this proposal. [1] https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=387059 -- Thanks, Zac
