Actually there is code in bug #43218 to do reverse deps for equery... |
| 12 |
Its pretty gentoolkit specific, but its probably possible to do |
| 13 |
something similar for repoman.. But it would become dead slow if repoman |
| 14 |
is run on more than one package, doing it properly would require portage |
| 15 |
to keep a cache of reverse dependencies... |
