emerge @preserved-libs does that with portage 2.2. Emerge even tells |
| 12 |
you to run it, and hangs on to the old versions until you do so, so your |
| 13 |
system is never broken. |

Revdep-rebuild is good for fixing things after they are broken, but the |
| 16 |
new portage approach of not breaking them is much nicer :) |
