I think all you know the utility revdep-rebuild. It's very usefull. But i= t =20 has some nasty features, such as totally ignoreing of emerge default options = =20 set in /etc/make.conf Would you like portage to be verbose? Ignored. Do you like portage showing you what's going to be emerged? Ignored! Do you wish portage to ask for your confirmation before actually doing =20 compilation? Yes, IGNORED! Just press ctrl-c and enjoy scrolling. Then run again. No too user =20 friendly. You don't like that behaviour? Just add the desired options to command li= ke parameters. You don't like adding options explicitly? Hey, that's Gentoo,= =20 just make a wrapper script and be happy ;-) I wrote a letter Paul Varner, reporting him about that bug. And what did = =20 he answer? That's a feature, not a bug. "We purposely do not honor =20 EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS because not to do so will break revdep-rebuild in unexpected ways" Ok. There is easy, dumb and stupid way of fixing that - just filter out =20 harmful options. I suggested my help in developing the script. I asked him what options =20 will break things... No answer. 12 days left. I made a report in bugzilla: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D289= 599 And was suggested to make the question up here. Please, leave your comments, suggestions etc. Thanks for attention. --=20 Best regards, Spinal
