Please review. Title: Portage Dynamic Deps Author: Zac Medico <[email protected]> Posted: 2018-01-28 Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 2.0 Display-If-Installed: <sys-apps/portage-2.3.20
Beginning with Portage 2.3.20, the previous default --dynamic-deps=y setting has changed to --dynamic-deps=n. Due to this change, some users may experience emerge dependency calculation failures triggered by installed packages that have outdated dependencies. In order to avoid problems of this nature, use the emerge --changed-deps=y option with your next deep @world update. Here is an example command that will trigger rebuilds of any installed packages that have outdated dependencies: # emerge --update --deep --changed-deps=y @world According to Gentoo policy, future ebuild dependency changes need to be accompanied by a revision bump in order to trigger rebuilds for users. Therefore, you should only need to use --changed-deps=y for a single deep @world update. After that, if you encounter installed packages with outdated dependencies in a future deep @world update, then you should report it as a bug. -- Thanks, Zac
