There should be a switch to force portage to recompile a certain package.

There is the problem, that emerge does not want to recompile a package after emerge -e world.
emerge -av packagexy does not recompile a certain package. After rebooting the system emerge -av packagexy works without any problem.

This is a enhancment or small bug.

Sorry, I don't grok your request

> emerge -av packagexy does not recompile a certain package. 

Why wouldn't it?
Comment 2 Armin Mohring 2006-11-18 05:54:56 UTC
My LDFLAGS are -Wl,--as-needed.
gst-plugins do not compile with these LDFLAGS.
After emerge -e world and skipping gst-plugins, I wanted to compile gst-plugins without -Wl,--as-needed.
So I changed my make.conf and entered emerge -av gst-plugins, but emerge didn

So I changed my make.conf and entered emerge -av gst-plugins, but emerge didn´t compile gst-plugins. After restarting the system, emerge -av gst-plugins recompiled the package (without -Wl, --as-needed).

What do you mean "didn't compile gst-plugins"? Sorry but compile failure is not a portage bug, what are you trying to solve here?

emerge didn´t want to recompile gst-plugins with the following command:
emerge -av gst-plugins --newuse.

Clear now? (or not?)

No, not really, sorry.
