Apart from a reply by Dale which more or less confirmed (at least the |
11 |
way I read it) that the section regarding the "--changed-deps" option in |
12 |
"man emerge" does not contain much valuable information, there was no |
13 |
response whatsoever, not even from the "gentoo.org" folks on this list! |
14 |
|
15 |
And none of the examples to overcome problems provided by others in this |
16 |
thread ever contained "--changed-deps". Does this mean "--changed-deps" |
17 |
is a NOOP, a relict from days long gone by, meanwhile without any funct- |
18 |
ionality, just provided for compatibility in order to not break ancient |
19 |
scripts? |

If so, I think the manual page could frankly point that out. |
22 |
|
23 |
If not so, where could I look-up the relevant information, short of the |
24 |
source code? |
