Emerge will catch this, no need for revbump. Unless you're not using -D
(--deep) when updating world. Which you should.
What do you mean "catch this"?
I always use -D, and the change broke my system.
I mean that a USE flag change will trigger a rebuild of the package
-D will not cause USE flag changes to trigger a rebuild of a package.
You're thinking of --newuse in this particular case.
Oops, yes. I meant -N (--newuse). Not -D. Got confused. I always upgrade
using:
emerge -auDN --changed-deps @world
The "N" was the important flag here, not the "D".
