Description Martin von Gagern 2007-08-01 11:55:58 UTC 
# revdep-rebuild -X -i -p
...
emerge --oneshot -X --pretend ...
usage: emerge [options]

emerge: error: no such option: -X

I can understand if you want to drop the functionality of -X for some good reason, but for backwards compatibility you should still accept that flag and inform the user instead of simply handing the flag to emerge.
Comment 1 Paul Varner (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-08-01 13:59:58 UTC 
The -X functionality is the default now.  I will fix it so that -X is now a no-op option.

is this a known bug?:

It's still giving the versions for each ebuild. I thought -X was the default behavior?
