[gentoo-user] rebuilding dependent packages

[Michael P. Soulier]

Hi,

I recently did an emerge --update --deep world, which resulted in a rebuild of
the ffmpeg library. 

The libavcodec library went from version 51 to 52, which broke transcode. The
--deep argument did not find the dependency there and rebuild transcode. 

On my FreeBSD server, portupgrade has the -r and -R arguments to force
rebuilds of dependent and reverse-dependent packages. Is there a way to have
emerge do the same?

Thanks,
Mike
