hi all, |
2 |
|
3 |
i find it a bit hard to understand how --binpkg-changed-deps is |
4 |
supposed to work and what implications it has. Moreover I think the |
5 |
man page is not very clear about what it does: |
6 |
|
7 |
"--binpkg-changed-deps [ y | n ] |
8 |
Tells emerge to ignore binary packages for which the |
9 |
corresponding ebuild dependencies have changed since the |
10 |
packages were built. In order to help avoid issues with |
11 |
resolving inconsistent dependencies, this option is |
12 |
automatically enabled unless the --usepkgonly option is enabled. |
13 |
Behavior with respect to changed build-time dependencies is |
14 |
controlled by the --with-bdeps option. |
15 |
" |
16 |
|
17 |
This looks a bit confusing to me. Am I alone with that? |
18 |
|
19 |
If I understand that option right, maybe this text is better? |
20 |
|
21 |
--binpkg-changed-deps [ y | n ] |
22 |
When enabled tells emerge to ignore a binary package and do a |
23 |
source build instead if the corresponding ebuild runtime |
24 |
dependencies (RDEPEND) have changed in the portage tree since |
25 |
the package was built. |
26 |
|
27 |
To help avoid issues with resolving inconsistent dependencies |
28 |
this option is enabled by default unless using source builds is |
29 |
disabled by the --usepkgonly option. |
30 |
|
31 |
If the --with-bdeps option is also enabled, changed build-time |
32 |
dependencies (DEPEND) will be considered instead. |
33 |
|
34 |
(Am not 100% sure whether the last sentence is technically correct) |
35 |
|
36 |
What do you think? |
