app-portage/tatt does that for some time already. It reads the list from the tinderbox website and then uses eix to find stable rdeps. It also writes a script that builds the stable rdeps and reports back what failed. > Advantages over existing solutions (browsing to websites like tinderbox > or qa-reports): > > - only prints stable packages when run on a stable system (no need to > manually filter out things) > - takes a list of packages as input, making it more effective for a > batch workflow (we're short on time, batching is often critical) > - produces output that can be fed to emerge after stripping comment > lines (no junk after package names); again this is for the batch workflow tatt can do all this. > It is still reasonably fast.

I'm currently working on a new version of tatt which includes Pawel's fantastic ncurses bug-browser. Code is in the bugbrowser branch of https://github.com/tom111/tatt, but I'm still working on it. I highly welcome Pawel's tools and will shamelessly immitate it's best features. Cheers, Thomas -- Thomas Kahle http://dev.gentoo.org/~tomka/
