Hello, everyone.
I think all you know the utility revdep-rebuild. It's very usefull. But it
has
some nasty features, such as totally ignoreing of emerge default options
set in
/etc/make.conf
Would you like portage to be verbose? Ignored.
Do you like portage showing you what's going to be emerged? Ignored!
Do you wish portage to ask for your confirmation before actually doing
compilation?
Yes, IGNORED!
Just press ctrl-c and enjoy scrolling. Then run again. No too user
friendly.
You don't like that behaviour? Just add the desired options to command like
parameters. You don't like adding options explicitly? Hey, that's Gentoo,
just make
a wrapper script and be happy ;-)
I wrote a letter Paul Varner, reporting him about that bug. And what did
he answer?
That's a feature, not a bug. "We purposely do not honor
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS because not
to do so will break revdep-rebuild in unexpected ways"
Ok. There is easy, dumb and stupid way of fixing that - just filter out
harmful options.
I suggested my help in developing the script. I asked him what options
will break things...
No answer. 12 days left.
I made a report in bugzilla: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=289599
And was suggested to make the question up here.
Please, leave your comments, suggestions etc.
Thanks for attention.
