roughly 90% packages depending on one of: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
sys-libs/db |
| 17 |
dev-libs/boost |
| 18 |
dev-lang/python |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Sooo, something around 500 packages. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Besides: We wouldn't need the need_python_rebuild anymore, users could |
| 23 |
safely uninstall old sys-libs/db versions, old dev-libs/boost versions |
| 24 |
and the list of packages to reinstall in python-updater boils down to |
| 25 |
what "paludis -u dev-lang/python:2.4" spits out as reverse-dependencies |
| 26 |
(or the corresponding portage command). |
