app-portage/tatt does that for some time already. It reads the list |
| 6 |
from the tinderbox website and then uses eix to find stable rdeps. It |
| 7 |
also writes a script that builds the stable rdeps and reports back what |
| 8 |
failed. |

I'm currently working on a new version of tatt which includes Pawel's |
| 29 |
fantastic ncurses bug-browser. Code is in the bugbrowser branch of |
| 30 |
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 |
| 33 |
features. |
