Bug 282639 – binary package soname dependencies

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Zac Medico 2009-08-25 06:09:28 UTC]

After building the dependency graph, we can check selected binary packages to verify that they don't depend on preserved libraries.

I've posted a proposal for generation of binary package soname dependencies using new PROVIDES_EXCLUDE and REQUIRES_EXCLUDE ebuild metadata variables:

Soname dependency resolution is now implemented, and posted for review:

Current soname dependency resolution only supports --usepkgonly. We could still add a sanity check for @preserve-rebuild that works with --usepkg.
