Bug 546616 – net-libs/libupnp: remove unneeded ewarn messages about revdep-rebuild

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Pacho Ramos 2015-04-14 18:23:20 UTC]

I would remove all this lines from ebuild:
        ewarn "Please remember to run revdep-rebuild when upgrading"
        ewarn "from libupnp 1.4.x to libupnp 1.6.x , so packages"
        ewarn "gets linked with the new library."
        echo ""
        ewarn "The revdep-rebuild script is part of the"
        ewarn "app-portage/gentoolkit package."


Because:
1. emerge @preserved-rebuild will take care of it
2. Probably you could also start to set subslots to this lib and wait for reverse deps to start using := to even not need to run emerge @preserved-rebuild
3. There is not much gain asking people to run revdep-rebuild in some places and not others, we all end up running it when updating to ensure all is ok :/

Thanks

If maintainers of the package are ok with the change, any of we (the people with commit access) can simply go ahead and fix it :)
