Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
The @changed-deps set is useful, but it has limitations similar to the |
| 4 |
@installed set [1], which can make it unsuitable for use when updating |
| 5 |
the whole system. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
In order to solve the problems of @changed-deps, we can implement two |
| 8 |
new options that are analogous to --newuse and --binpkg-respect-use, |
| 9 |
called --changed-deps and --binpkg-changed-deps. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
The rationale for having separate a --binpkg-* option is the same in |
| 12 |
both cases: depending on the situation, people may want different |
| 13 |
behavior for binary packages. For example, just like |
| 14 |
---binpkg-respect-use is automatically enabled if the user has not |
| 15 |
specified --usepkgonly, we could do the same for --binpkg-changed-deps |
| 16 |
(but allow the user to explicitly override the automatic behavior). |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Please respond if you agree or disagree with this proposal. |
