Description Alec Warner (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2005-11-10 12:28:12 UTC
In toolchain.eclass it informs the user to revdep-rebuild --library <old gcc
libstdc++.so >  However, revdep-rebuild doens't have a --library parameter
anymore, it uses --soname.
Comment 1 Alec Warner (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2005-11-10 12:35:34 UTC
Er, FuzzyRay has informed me that in 0.2.1 it will be --library, and --soname
will be kept for backwards compatability.  Maybe put in both...not sure what the
best choice is here.
Comment 2 Paul Varner (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-11-10 12:40:48 UTC
I think the easiest way to resolve this is for me to patch revdep-rebuild in 
stable to accept --library as well as --soname. 
Comment 3 Paul Varner (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-11-10 13:44:15 UTC
gentoolkit-0.2.0-r3 now in the tree. revdep-rebuild will now process --library
