It should be, at least see man revdep-rebuild, I use that all the time to rebuild external kernel modules: http://frugalware.org/docs/rebuild#_kernel > Another solution would be pacman -Qi but that also only shows the > installed packages that depend on that package. The problem with that is foo1 may depend on bar, foo2 as well, but foo1 can conflict with foo2. Now -Qi will depend foo1 or foo2 only and you'll miss a package to rebuild. Another possible solution is to: git grep "depends.*'pkgname" See the above page, I use this method for mysql modules, where a rebuild is not always necessary (sometimes they increment the so version, sometimes they not). For the other patch: I'm currently trying to get 1.5rc1 into a reasonable shape, will have a look once it's out. Thanks.
