header says it all.
I second this, as per the BUGS section of the revdep-rebuild manpage that doesn't have anything in it.
Still a problem...
revdep-rebuild still has just a dummy instead of a man-page...
Fifthed. :D
Created attachment 54856 [details] Proposed man page for revdep-rebuild Proposed man page for revdep-rebuild.
Created attachment 60068 [details] New proposed manpage for revdep-rebuild I combined information from the script itself, from its output and from the various documentation sources for revdep-rebuild. I based the manpage on the original one merged with gentoolkit.
Created attachment 60080 [details] Corrected here and there. Added info about how emerge is called.

Please disregard that last comment. :-\
equery belongs /usr/share/man/man1/revdep-rebuild.1.gz [ Searching for file(s) /usr/share/man/man1/revdep-rebuild.1.gz in *... ] app-portage/gentoolkit-0.2.0 (/usr/share/man/man1/revdep-rebuild.1.gz) Looks fixed to me.
Verified, this can be closed.
