Bugzilla Bug 97073

The option -q does not, as "revdep-rebuild --help" suggests, quiet down this
tool.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. revdep-rebuild -q

Actual Results:  
root@copper:/# revdep-rebuild -q

Checking reverse dependencies...
Packages containing binaries and libraries broken by any package update,
will be recompiled.

Collecting system binaries and libraries... done.
  (/root/.revdep-rebuild.1_files)

Collecting complete LD_LIBRARY_PATH... done.
  (/root/.revdep-rebuild.2_ldpath)

Checking dynamic linking consistency... done.
  (/root/.revdep-rebuild.3_rebuild)

Assigning files to ebuilds... Nothing to rebuild

Evaluating package order... done.
  (/root/.revdep-rebuild.5_order)

Dynamic linking on your system is consistent... All done.

Actually, it does quiet it down.  How much quieter would you like it to be?

I'd like it to show only the list of broken binaries and the packages to be
rebuilt (the "emerge --oneshot [...]" line) since every other text is static
(i.e. doesn't change between invocations).

Patch against revdep-rebuild from gentoolkit-0.2.1_pre7 to make it really quiet

I've now patched revdep-rebuild to be as quiet as I would like it to be. 
Needed to change echo_v from an alias to a shell function.
A future version of revdep-rebuild might use a generic log function with a 
log level instead of echo, echo_v and $EXTRA_VERBOSE.

Patch against revdep-rebuild from gentoolkit-0.2.1_pre7 to optionally skip
safety delays

While patching revdep-rebuild to make it more quiet, I discovered
unconditional safety delays, making revdep-rebuild slower that it needs
to be, especially if it's run unattended.
This patch introduces a new command line option "-nw" resp. "--no-wait" to
skip those delays.

Combi-Patch containing quiet-Patch and nowait-Patch

Updated combi patch against the gentoolkit-0.2.1_rc2 tarball

Now applies against the whole tarball (i.e. including directory structure)
instead of the single file revdep-rebuild.

Thanks for the patches, Sascha.

To be honest rr still has a lot of serious kinks, and those need to be worked
out before this less urgent stuff can be addressed. In the meantime, there's
always

revdep-rebuild -q >/dev/null 2>&1

We will look at this after we get revdep-rebuild in a more stable state

*** Bug 241530 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Reopening, now that revdep-rebuild has been rewritten in a stable state.
