[gentoo-dev] sys-libs/db, emerge and revdep-rebuild
Hi there, I had a different problem with the db upgrade last week: postfix broke. I had to run revdep-rebuild to fix it; this is fine, except that nothing prompted me to run revdep-rebuild. So: - Am I expected to run revdep-rebuild after every emerge -uavDN world now? - If so, can we get more integration with emerge itself? - If not, could future db upgrades grow an elog about revdep-rebuilding? postfix breakage was pretty annoying because (a) email is a pretty important part of servers, and (b) the postfix daemon itself kept working, but all of the little child processes failed, thus making the failure not as transparent as one might want. Cheers, Dirkjan

Yes, that's always been the case. - If so, can we get more integration with emerge itself? I'd like us to add EAPI support for abi-slot dependencies, as discussed in these bugs: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192319 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=327809 -- Thanks, Zac
