$ grep DEFAULT /etc/make.conf EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--ask --verbose --tree" And when I run: revdep-rebuild --library libjpeg.so.62 ... it runs rebuilding without asking me. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. echo 'EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--ask --verbose --tree"' > /etc/make.conf 2. revdep-rebuild (should have some task to be done) Actual Results: Runs rebuilding without asking me. Expected Results: It should show me the tree of packages that will be rebuilt and ask for confirmation.

As I remember you said previously in private e-mail to me that there're some options that can harm revdep-rebuild work. I believe that such options could easily be filtered in the script, or vice-versa, "safe" options could be filtered and added to the final emerge command. If you feel no desire to make this work, I will assist you with pleasure. Just list what emerge options are harmful. Regardz.
Please also see bug #282474 where the lead maintainer for gentoolkit addresses the issue, but I guess you could raise the issue on the gentoo-portage-dev ML to argue for accepting certain safe flags.
Some additions. The variable PORTAGE_NICENESS is ignored aswell, leading the system to be partially useless because of it (loosing interactiveness; I can't even watch a movie in mplayer because it has the same nice-priority) P.S. I've raised the question in gentoo-portage-dev list, but it seems the author of the utility is to busy to maintain it.
Please open a new bug for the PORTAGE_NICENESS value. However, my testing shows that it is being honored, so I don't know why it would not be working for you. In the niw bug, please include your emerge --info and the output of "portageq envvar PORTAGE_NICENESS"

In the niw bug, please include your emerge --info and the output of > "portageq envvar PORTAGE_NICENESS" Done: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=285764 I did a mistake when saying about PORTAGE_NICENESS is ignored. It's not ignored, but it's calculated in a wrong way, leading emerge to be run with the same nice level as my desktop applications.
Released in gentoolkit-0.3.0_rc8
