Description DEMAINE Benoît-Pierre, aka DoubleHP 2010-10-30 14:29:38 UTC

Package: libdrm-2.4.20-r1
 * libdrm's ABI may have changed without change in library name
 * Please rebuild media-libs/mesa, x11-base/xorg-server and
 * your video drivers in x11-drivers/*.

should be changed to sth like

Package: libdrm-2.4.20-r1
 * libdrm's ABI may have changed without change in library name
 * Several atoms should be rebuild to avoid breakage:
 * emerge -va1 media-libs/mesa x11-base/xorg-server
 * qlist -I -C x11-drivers/ | xargs emerge -v1

or all in one:
 * qlist -I -C x11-drivers/  media-libs/mesa x11-base/xorg-server | xargs emerge -v1

That would assume app-portage/portage-utils is installed so it cannot go in as is.

That mesage is removed in latest versions since developers are carefull about abi breakages. (YAY)

(dunno how to resolve this, so going with fixed :))

I was also assuming people are using emerge, what is more and more wrong today.
