As a "cleanup" test, I've run "emerge --depclean" and "revdep-rebuild". |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
"emerge --depclean" removed approx 85 files, which seemed reasonable. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
"revdep-rebuild" then rebuilt 7 or 8 packages -- also reasonable. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
When I run the commands again, "emerge --depclean" removes the packages |
| 8 |
that "revdep-rebuild" just rebuilt. |
| 9 |
|

To be specific, the iteration 10 minutes ago cleaned 6 packages: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
x11-proto/xf86miscproto |
| 13 |
dev-libs/boehm-gc |
| 14 |
dev-util/intltool |
| 15 |
x11-proto/xf86vidmodeproto |
| 16 |
dev-embedded/gputils |
| 17 |
x11-misc/util-macros |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
and rebuilt 7 packages: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
dev-embedded/gputils-0.13.3-r1 |
| 22 |
x11-misc/util-macros-1.2.1 |
| 23 |
dev-libs/boehm-gc-6.8 |
| 24 |
x11-proto/xf86miscproto-0.9.2 |
| 25 |
x11-proto/xf86vidmodeproto-2.2.2 |
| 26 |
dev-embedded/sdcc-2.5.0_p20060502 |
| 27 |
x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.552-r2 |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Another iteration cleaned 5 packages |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
x11-proto/xf86miscproto |
| 32 |
dev-libs/boehm-gc |
| 33 |
x11-proto/xf86vidmodeproto |
| 34 |
dev-embedded/gputils |
| 35 |
x11-misc/util-macros |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
and rebuilt the same 7 packages. Possibly of interest is that |
| 38 |
ati-drivers is being rebuilt though it's not being cleaned. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
This seems behavior less than optimal. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
FWIW, I'm running on an AMD64 and are: |
| 43 |
app-portage/gentoolkit-0.2.4.2-r1 (for revdep-rebuild) |
| 44 |
sys-apps/portage-2.1.6.11 ( for emerge ) |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Any thoughts on why the two commands don't agree on what's needed and |
| 47 |
changes I should make so that the _do_ agree. |
| 48 |

Thanks. |
