What the hell are you talking about? No tools have even been created yet. Nobody builds tools before the framework is in place. The ability to make use of RRDEPEND as I've pointed out by verify-rdepend and revdep-rebuild could be pretty much immediate. The ability to control what level of depends a user wants in his/her depgraph is up to the user. The way I envision it you could just as easliy do ROOT=/dev/shm/minimal emerge -KO --deps="RDEPEND:DEPEND:PDEPEND" pkgfoo To yield the same results as portage by default. In general I'd suggest that you not attempt to make use of features that don't suit your needs. -- Ned Ludd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gentoo Linux -- gentoo-portage-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
