The thing is, you will *have to* break things at some point anyway. In your case, it will be when you decide to update LIB (because you want to have the new features, or because another package needs the new version). Between the LIB update and the APP recompilation, APP will be broken. Even worse, if you don't know that the LIB update will break APP, you might not notice immediately that APP is broken, or you might only get some strange results from APP. That's where revdep-rebuild steps in: it can tell you that APP is broken, and what's needed to fix it. So you're better off running it consistently after your regular updates. -- Remy --------------enig76484B89EC9A7FB653E65C1B Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) iD8DBQFGtvqmCeNfIyhvXjIRAkhFAKCxcNIp8RjO6D/O70DE8sAcKLut1gCgixTb 0zxdK2ARdCcafYS3DsEc+Qc= =liE5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig76484B89EC9A7FB653E65C1B-- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
