7 Yes it is. Here is the list of bug fixes and enhancements:
8
9 * Delete temporary files if the environment does not match the previous
10 environment (bug 95274)
11 * Imported revdep-rebuild release from bug 62644
12 * Major changes to the functionality when using --package-names/-X The
13 script should now update slotted packages correctly. (bug 22161)
14 * Customizable searching controlled through environment variables. This
15 removes the need for end users to directly modify the script. (bugs
16 32276, 38011, 59803)
17 * The directories to search are no longer hard coded into the script.
18 revdep-rebuild now determines the directories to search based
19 upon/etc/profile.env and /etc/ld.so.conf. (bugs 32276, 38011, 89781)
20 * --ignore option to ignore temporary files left from previous runs.
21 Automatically ignore temporary files older than 24 hours. (bug 34052)
22 * Always return an exit status based upon success or failure. (bug
23 38472)
24 * Fixed to only emerge packages with direct missing dependencies. (bug
25 38487)
26 * New man page. (bug 40042)
27 * emerge is no longer called with --nodeps. This allows for needed
28 dependencies to be pulled in. (bug 62893)
29 * Cleaned up grammatical errors (bug 85278)
30 * Added support for revdep-rebuild --soname /path/to/library.so (bug
31 91503)
32 * Removed symbolically linked directories from search (bug 93574)
33 * --nocolor option to turn off colored output, the script also obeys the
34 NOCOLOR setting from /etc/make.conf.
35 * Removed dependency on qpkg
36 * Script uses PORTAGE_NICENESS from /etc/make.conf
37 * Undocumented --keep-temp option. This is primarily for
38 debugging/testing. This option prevents temporary files from being
39 deleted.
40 * Changed --soname --soname-regexp options to --library and treat all
41 arguments as basic regular expressions. --soname and --soname-regexp can
42 still be used as options for backwards compatability.
43 * Removed requirement to keep revdep-rebuild and emerge options
44 distinct. Options that are unrecognized by revdep-rebuild are passed
45 directly to emerge.
