Description DJ Dunn 2018-02-01 09:31:10 UTC 
sys-apps/portage-2.3.22 doesnt remerge kernel modules set @module-rebuild with --changed-deps opt

i can put --changed-deps in EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS and 

Iris /usr/src/linux # emerge @module-rebuild

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

Total: 0 packages, Size of downloads: 0 KiB

Nothing to merge; quitting.

if i take it out it finds my two kernel modules and rebuilds them

more things come back at nothing to merge.  is this something that cant be on all the time?

The problem is that it also enables --selective. If you use EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--changed-deps --selective=n" it will behave better, but then you have to specify --selective when you need it.

As Zac said, this is by design. If you're asking Portage to only reinstall packages with changed deps, that's what you get. This works the same as --changed-use, --update, etc.
