gentoolkit

NOTE: This package is masked and will soon be removed. Paludis is now shipped with a program called reconcilio that does the same as revdep-rebuild. Use reconcilio instead.

Description:

This is app-portage/gentoolkit with a patched version of revdep-rebuild.

Author(s): jordan83, zxy

Dependencies:

none

Installation

To use the patched version the paludis useflag must be set.

If you don't want the newer versions of app-portage/gentoolkit from portage to interfere with the app-portage/gentoolkit from paludis-extras then you'll need to mask the one from portage like this:

Code: /etc/paludis/package_mask.conf

app-portage/gentoolkit::gentoo

Usage

From the patched version of app-portage/gentoolkit-0.2.4_pre7-r1 it is possible to select different package managers for revdep-rebuild.

To use different package managers specify the --package-manager (-P) option. The default package manager is paludis.

Code: example

revdep-rebuild -P=paludis                    # choose paludis (just for example, as it is the default)
revdep-rebuild -P=portage                    # choose portage (short option)
revdep-rebuild --package-manager=portage     # choose portage (long option)

For other options see help or the upstream documentation.

Code:

revdep-rebuild --help
