I apologize for the not responding. I actually thought I had but |
| 24 |
apparently did not. Anyhow real life has me swamped right now, so I |
| 25 |
can't give you an exact answer on what breaks and what doesn't break. |
| 26 |
However, any option which can change the ordering of the packages can |
| 27 |
break the rebuild of the packages and if it does will result in bugs |
| 28 |
being filed against revdep-rebuild. |

I am very much against allowing EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS in revdep-rebuild |
| 31 |
since I went through hell trying to support it when it was first added |
| 32 |
as a feature to portage and I really don't want to go through that |
| 33 |
again. |
