Since this thread was mentioned today in the Gentoo Weekly News, There |
| 4 |
is definitely a demand for this type of script. Anyhow I'm now working |
| 5 |
on 0.2 based upon the feedback that I have received. |
| 6 |
|

Besides adding a couple of new options, I'm also looking at speeding up |
| 8 |
the script where possible. One of the things that I brought over from |
| 9 |
revdep-rebuild was the calling of emerge to order the packages. This |
| 10 |
has the result of the script using the emerge three times. Two times to |
| 11 |
determine the order in which the packages should be recompiled and the |
| 12 |
third time to actually recompile the packages. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
The more that I look at this, the more that I think that it is |
| 15 |
unnecessary work for what I am trying to do. Can anyone think of why I |
| 16 |
should care or not care about the order that I pass packages to emerge |
| 17 |
when recompiling existing packages that contain kernel modules? I can't |
| 18 |
think of any, but I'm also not knowledgeable of the portage internals |
| 19 |
yet. |
