Description Francisco Blas Izquierdo Riera (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-04-06 13:49:45 UTC
revdep-pax currently provides lots of little useful information for normal users when trying to check backwards mapping, it will show both mappings which are less strict than the current ones provided by libraries and those that are less strict (i.e. more disable flags enabled). The result is that this makes the output quite hard to use specially since binaries may appear more than once per library.

Thus a flag to show only less trict markings (and maybe to propagate them) could be very useful for the users.
