While we are talking about this, I would like to point out the following message that I sent here on November 3rd: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/32556/ To summarize, in order for revdep-rebuild to ignore binary packages, it needs help from the package maintainers. This is done, by the package installing a file into /etc/revdep-rebuild/ that tells revdep-rebuild what directories to ignore. Regards, Paul -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
