Description Toralf Förster gentoo-dev 2010-02-26 18:32:51 UTC 
What's about an enhancement to revdep-rebuild : 
Add an option to a "revdep-rebuild --library <name>.<version>.o" to rebuild all packages linked against the library <name>, but _not_ against the specific <version> ?

This came into my mind after reading these threads :

Reproducible: Always

Dunno, it's already there...

# revdep-rebuild --help

<snip>
NAME can be a full path to the library or a basic *regular* *expression* (man grep)

Great, how many features are already implemented :-)
