Hi all, Is there a way to force a package *directly*listed* in DEPEND to be re-merged, regardless of whether it is already installed, up to date or not?
i.e. if a DEPENDS on b, then 'emerge a' will actually run 'emerge b a' Reason: I use cvs-e17 and all ebuilds have version -9999 but they change daily. To update e17, one must checkout and rebuild everything as portage has no way of knowing what must be updated. So I have a script with 92 emerge commands in it... This clutters world unnecessarily. I would rather create a -meta ebuild, list all 92 packages in DEPEND and 'emerge <metapackage>' will rebuild the whole lot. With the added benefit that 'emerge --resume --skipfirst' will actually work properly when a build fails (as they do on an almost daily basis...) Is this possible? -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- [email protected] mailing list
