I would second that feature request. It would also allow for some intelligent |
| 10 |
'auto-healing' of the system, by allowing one to (optionally) recompile any |
| 11 |
packages dependent on an ebuild that has just been upgraded so they run |
| 12 |
against the newest version or warning one before a package upon which others |
| 13 |
rely is removed. This is the one feature I miss most about Source Mage |
| 14 |
(sorcerer). |
