9 Actually all of the current versions of revdep-rebuild are broken and
10 always remove the cache files after completion. The exception to this is
11 when --pretend is used.
12
13 When it is fixed in the next version of gentoolkit, the behavior is to
14 keep the files if it is a pretend run or if emerge exits with a non-zero
15 status.
16
17 Note: emerge will exit with a non-zero status if --keep-going is used
18 and there is a build failure.
