For the gentoolkit-0.3.0 series, I removed any filtering of emerge
options set in EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPS for revdep-rebuild. This has caused
some people to complain because some of the flags in their
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS are not suitable for a revdep-rebuild run.

I have bumped gentoolkit to 0.2.1_pre3 and package masked it for

Unless there are objections, I am planning on unmasking
gentoolkit-0.2.1_pre3 this weekend. This build of gentoolkit contains
the new version of revdep-rebuild. This version has been in the tree

One of the common complaints with revdep-rebuild is that it wants to
constantly rebuild binary packages (most notably openoffice-bin). To
assist in resolving this issue, I have released gentoolkit-0.2.1_pre9
which adds the capability for an ebuild maintainer to adjust how
revdep-rebuild behaves tow
