Hi, |

In sys-app/portage-2.3.20, emerge now defaults to --dynamic-deps=n. This |
| 4 |
means that unless people explicitly set |
| 5 |
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--dynamic-deps=y" they're going to have to rebuild |
| 6 |
packages any time that the runtime dependencies of those packages need |
| 7 |
to be updated. It's possible to trigger these rebuilds using the emerge |
| 8 |
--changed-deps=y option. |

|

Some eclasses like autotools.eclass and vala.eclass generate |
| 11 |
version/slot locked dependencies that cause the dependencies of |
| 12 |
inheriting ebuilds to change when the versions in the eclasses are |
| 13 |
updated. If possible, it would be nice to avoid this version/slot |
| 14 |
locking. If not possible, then what should be do? |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Should we tell users to use the emerge --changed-deps=y option? Maybe |
| 17 |
make --changed-deps=y a default setting? |

Thanks, |
